extendable wisker pole repair

Hi all, with all the experience around here, I'm sure someone has come across
this. I have an extendable wisker pole. the "push buttons" to extend or collapse
have worn so that with the pressure of the sail, they collapse right away. to use
the pole, I have resorted to putting a piece of line thru the hole so it can't collapse.
I'm looking at sailing back to the US and will probably need the pole so I need to
get it fixed.
I cannot separate the pieces. there is a ring on the larger piece that seems to
stop that. anyone have any ideas on replacing the plastic?

thanks,
Rickf
