Hi
Can anyone tell me how to separate the poles from the bases?? One would have thought they would just unscrew but I can’t budge them!
Cheers
Nigel
21 October 2024 at 22:36 #60352I have the same problem! I have definitely read somewhere on Beoworld that they unscrew but can’t find the reference; I think it was mentioned by Lee (former site owner). I have tried several times (every house move) but cannot get them apart. Maybe WD40, or application of cold/heat, or percussive shock??? Good luck!!
22 October 2024 at 00:29 #60354Hi,
I just unpacked my set from the original B&O packaging and I can confirm that the poles are simply screwed into the bases. As Guy suggests, WD40 (overnight) might help.

Bill – they’re not left hand threads are they?
23 October 2024 at 00:09 #60387No they are not, they screw in clockwise (right hand) and screw out counterclockwise (left hand).
The aluminum poles are threaded and screw into the threaded iron base. WD40 for a few days may be necessary to remove them without damaging the aluminum threads. I would apply from both the top and bottom. As Guy mentioned, heat may help (applied to the iron base from the bottom).
Take your time and let the WD40 do a lot of the work so you don’t damaged the aluminum threads. Applying some type of anti-seize thread compound would be a good idea when re-assembling.
