As long as you fill the bottom pole with cement and the rebar and let it dry. The sleeve needs to be placed in the ground and fill the hole with cement around the sleeve. Once both are dried you can put the bottom post in the sleeve. If you put the post in the sleeve and then put cement around and in you could cement them to each other. If it make sense to you give it a try. I just put the video based on instructions.
After about 15 years my pole (the piece with the concrete in it) rusted in two at the top joint. I managed to remove the piece from the sleeve with great effort of lifting with a block and tackle, banging and chiseling. The replacement pole cost less than $20.
This could be one of a few reason. It could be rusted, you could buy some bolt loosener made to break down the rust or get a plumbers wrech large enough for the pipe. Pipe sleeve or pipe might have been bent. Best way to remove, if it is bent, would be to use a sawsall to cut the inner pipe off a few inches up from the sleeve. Then cut straight down on one side of the inner pipe. Finally, clamp the pip wrench on the upper part and try to loosen it. It could have been installed into the cement. If none of the other fixes work, you will need to rent a jackhammer to remove the old sleeve and install a new one. Praying one of the first options works for you.
@BruceMackenthun Does It All LLC Thank you kindly for the reply. We have since discovered the guy never capped of the bottom of pole and it was also full of cement. My son busted it out finally after sledhammering 10 inch down. Now we get a jackhammer. Lol
Sorry, I didn't have the right setup to film while mixing cement and getting it set. I'll will do better next time. Please subscribe to my channel & tell your friends. Thank you
What happens if I put the pole in the sleeve and put the concrete in the pole and the rebar Will I still be able to remove it
