   Thanks for the knowledge and advice, I have not yet tried to remove what is left of the pipe, but it sounds like I have my work cut out for me regardless. I have a good stockpile of odds and ends and maybe I can rig something up, but making a replacement out of lead is probably beyond my skills at this point. If I can get it out in such a way that it is not destroyed and can somehow be re-done, I will be sure to post some photos and a description that might aid others with the same problem in the future. Wish me luck!
