I don't have Spartite but it looks like a very good solution to prevent point loading and something I always wanted. I believe you want the Spartite plug to stick to the mast and to release from the collar and may require some persuasion from inside to help that along when they crane out the mast. Rubber mallet and short 2 x 4 to tap it loose? I haven't researched this but maybe the collar needs to be heavily waxed before assembly, to prevent adhesion. This would need to be done each time prior to restepping.
