Oh my goodness a slug-tuned one? Um, if it were me, I'd order the 
correct one I need, and remove the one that's soldered in with being 
kind to the circuit board in mind and kind or unkind to the inductor 
itself as needed. I've had good success over my tronics career re-using 
parts I've  had to remove but good practice is to slap in a new one if 
one is available at all. 73 de Alex NS6Y
