Are you talking about an X pole? The same happened with me. It sounds like your pieces are stuck or locked together. There's LOADS of good tips and tricks in this thread: https://www.studioveena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1514&st=0&sk=t&sd=a Or you can purchase super release tools: http://www.xpoleus.com/shop_accessories.php

Are you talking about the spinning mechanism on an X-Pole??? All I know is that your supposed to make sure the hex screws are completely loose and it should slide right off... Someone else had it stuck once a long while back, but I can't remember what they did to get it to come off. I'll poke around and see if I can find it... If all else fails, email X-Pole and ask what they suggest. 🙂
Rubber mallet, very lightly to get the base unstuck. Takes barely anything and it'll pop back off as long as your have the spin screws out.

Any chance you can explain how exactly you do this - like where are you hitting??? Just on the side of it with the base tipped up on its side??? 🤔 I've never tried to take mine apart but I'd like to know what to do if it is stuck... thanks 🙂
I'm not certain the rubber mallet will work as well with the original model XP as there isn't as much to grab onto above the base for leverage. When I spoke to Xpole a while back about this problem they stated they have had a few get stuck and that they jsut recommend NOT removing that bottom piece.
i have this problem also 🙁 i cant remove the small part with 2 screws from the circle bottom base, also an extension is stuck on there
Ah, see I have the new one, not quite sure how the old ones are set up I just know that the adjuster is on the top.
