How to assemble the new pole:

First you need to disassemble the current pole assembly:

1. Hook the elastic holding pole sections at the end nearest the broken section and pull out so knot can be undone (or if necessary cut off).
2. Release the elastic and pull back through pole sections to the broken section taking care to keep the pole sections in the correct order.
3. Remove damaged section.

Cut the new section to same length as damaged section using a hacksaw.

Reassemble pole as follows:

1. Replace broken section with new section.
2. Using a length of wire fixed to the end of the elastic (e.g. using tape) feed the elastic through all the poles in the correct order and re-knot at end.
