  Did ‘The Hulk’ assemble my adjuster cover? New pole woes.

  UGH!

  So I just took my new X Pole out of the box and the adjuster cover is on there so tight I can't get it to budge. AT ALL. So mad. I have this visual of The Hulk tightening it out of spite before it was sent to me.

  Does anyone have any magic tricks to get it to drop down? I am strong enough to pole hold, plank, and move furniture… but I guess not strong enough to assemble my new X Pole.

  I got it and will put this up for anyone that might have a similar issue… I loosened the three screws above the adjuster cover. Then I heated the seam where the adjuster joins the tube with a hair dryer for just  few minutes. I used thick rubber gloves because the hair dryer made the metal hot and did a twist.. it dropped right down.

  Continuing setup… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

  I've noticed that sometimes I can't unscrew or screw my adjustor cover when the 3 hex screws above are tightened. I also keep my adjustor slightly lubed too.

  Thanks! Yes it was quite the learning experience to get that thing undone. I absolutely LOVE my Xpole so it was way worth the frustration! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif
