It worked for me, on two different extensions..
Another idea is to end for end the extension, leave the existing uni in place, just cap it with tape and/or a tennis ball or similar
You should be able to pop it out (the universal is embedded in an epoxy "plug" which is then inserted/epoxied into the extension) - use these instructions to pop out the plug
http://www.acmecarbon.com/ACMECARBON/repair.html for what you need and then follow the step by step lower on the page..
If you manage to damage the universal and/or epoxy plug, highly recommend just ordering their repair kit as opposed to trying to embed another universal in the extension.
Just curious, I would have thought the Hobie used a much longer extension ?
Will the 48" swing from one side to the other (clear the mainsheet) while keeping the rudder straight?
You need good technique. If you try to move the tiller horizontally in a tack, it will not clear the mainsheet. You need to pivot it up from the base. Awkward at first, but it becomes automatic.
