How do I get the X joint out of my pole that has shifted from the hole?!
Hi everyone. I have an Xpert static pole and my X joint has moved just enough that I can’t get the Alan wrench in the hole to tighten/loosen it. How the heck do I get it out so I can readjust it or replace it? HELP!?

Broom handle, up inside the pole. Bash it out from the inside. One hand on the joint, one hand on the pole part (you don’t want the joint to jut pop out and hit you on the foot, or damage your floor).

What do you do if they are stuck either end? I have 50mm I have abandoned in my mam’s loft as I can not get it apart.

Hi All,
Please check out this video here on how to remove a stuck X-Joint: http://youtu.be/wA4MsehEcZA
The above diagram is also very helpful! If you are located in the US, please feel free to contact info@xpoleus.com or give us a call during business hours for tech support! If the X-Joint is rotated at both ends, you can use the same method to remove the x-joint from the one end, and then repeat to remove from the other pole tube. This method is 99% effective and we have done it successfully every time.
Keep in mind that rotated X-Joints can occur when the x-joint is not properly and securely tightened or maintained. Let us know at info@xpoleus.com if you have any questions. Thanks!!

I am the 1%. I use the poles in my studio, they are meticulously maintained, however I had one pole get so badly damaged from trying to pound out the joint with a broom handle a hoe handle (it actually broke the handles which were hard wood!. I had to throw the pole. I HATE the x joints, but love the poles over all.
