    Default Trouble separating B n M pole pieces


    Hi,
    I have a 12' B n M pole that I am, sometimes, having trouble separating the two pieces. Am I just putting too much pressure on the two pieces, when assembling them, or is there a trick that I need to know? Should I put a little oil on the male portion of the ferrule to prevent future problems

    Thanks for the advice.

    Put the pole behind you, holding a section in each hand close to where it joins, squat low enuff that your wrist are about your knees and using your legs for leverage pull it apart

    Next time you get them apart, take the male end and rub it in the crease alongside your nose. The oils there will keep them from binding. This always worked with the old metal ferrules and has helped me with some of the newer ones. Sounds kind of odd but it does work.

    Glad to know I'm not the only person in the world that could not get those poles apart. I had my husband, everybody trying to figure it out without breaking.

    My father taught me that some 50 yrs ago. Still works to this day.

    I've used both, wd40 and hot water. Applying some pre-lube, be it facial oils or wd40 sounds good.
    The best way to get to where you want to be in the future is to act like you are there TODAY.
