I need to remove at least some of my flue tiles to get my 6" liner down. Slightly ovalizing the 4' rigid section still wouldn't let it get down. The local rental place doesn't know what a flue tile breaker is and I could make one, but if possible I'd like to rent/borrow from someone locally near sheboygan wi

I'm going to call a couple sweeps to see what they would charge to knock it out. I'm running out of time and every setback pushes me further into the season.
 
You could just weld a square steel plate on the end of a 1/2 inch pipe and chuck it up in a big drill.

Yep I know there isn't much to em. I figured I could take 3/8" rebar weld pipe nipples on and go it that way, 5' or so to a section. I think the rebar would give it the flex needed. However I'd spend probably 50 on trying to piece it together, and then I'd have to buy a better 1/2" drill. My B&D POS hammer drill was smoking when I was mixing mortar :eek:
