The point I am making is that there has to be a sacrificial point somewhere…broken tenax or possibility of a torn hood if the tenax does not let go ?

Good point Doug. Hadn't realised the hood tears. I don't know which would be worse a damaged hood or side panel messed up through extracting the broken thread.

I have some spare Tenax's. Perhaps I could put a small cut with a junior hacksaw in the shoulder of the Tenax just below the head. That way is would be inclined to shear there leaving the hexagon in place to remove the remainder.
Good idea Rog. From distant memory, I think that hood was the pvc type, rather than mohair. Maybe it had become brittle on the folds/ creases after 6 years use.
