He may have left but I’m still getting value from this post

By "coring", if you mean removal of part of the inner foam dielectric to get the connector on, It's a pain, but it can be done by hand with a carpet knife or other razor knife if you are very careful. I've installed LDF4-50 type N connectors before with nothing but a hacksaw, box-cutter, needle nosed pliers, soldering gun, and a pair of wrenches. ..and you need a very skinny, or thin wrench to get on the body of the connector. A high quality Craftsman or Snap-On wrench won't fit.
