I called Xpole USA last night. She sent me that same PDF that has been referred to. Here’s the instruction customer service gave me…
Put a broom, or any other strong rod/pole that is smaller than the Xpole pole, into the pole. Have it so that the joint is at the top, near your head, and the open end of the pole is pointing down toward the floor, toward the broom bristles. Then, "bounce" the pole hard on the broom stick, slowly trying to bang out the joint. (This works much easier than just trying to hold the pole in one hand, and the broom in the other, and trying to just jam it down in there- it’s much easier to use gravity and the floor to help you). Once the hex bolt hole is exposed, loosen it to narrow the joint and pull it out the rest of the way.

I asked her what was up, and explained to her that I knew lots of people were having this problem. She admitted that "yes," many people were having an issue with the joints getting stuck or rotated. She said that the company is currently working on a solution and mentioned a joint-extraction tool was in the works for now.

I know this thread is a couple of months old now… but I too, am having issues. I’ve had my Xpert pole a couple of months, and now one of my joints is stuck and off center, so I can’t reach the hole to loosen it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

I’ve done a few rounds of P90X, but have been too reluctant to try Insanity due to knee problems. The Beachbody programs are all really good, though. I swear by P90X for the upper body strength it gave me which translated to my pole work. Let us know what you think of Insanity, and if the jumping stuff gets to be too much, you could definitely try P90X or P90X+ and still get some awesome workouts!
