Hopefully yours is brass but apparently some aftermarket steel tubes made it into Packards. Several photos on site of steel tubes that have rusted into tiny pieces.

You have the idea of removal correct but be careful. If the tube is brass it will not take a lot of pulling before the holes tear out. If it seems to stick you might get a long length of stiff but thin metal -- something like a bandsaw blade cut apart -- to reach down either side of the tube and try to work anything sticking it free.
