If the slug is cracked, you have a problem because the sharp edge at the crack will jam inside the tube and it won't come out no matter what. In that case you will have to break the slug and remove the pieces.

If you do that, you can replace it with another slug, or in rare cases, glue some of the pieces together and try to put it in. If you can't adjust it, maybe you can shunt a trimmer capacitor and use that as the adjustment.

You have some options but nothing is easy about a stuck slug.
