Khyam Rigidome/Excelsior/Classic/ Longleat/Petworth etc owners....please help.

Some Muppet (Me) managed to break the joint for the top pole whilst in France last weekend (just before a thunderstorm- great timing!).

I've ordered a replacement from Tent Spares.co.uk, which arrived 24hrs later (top stuff).

However, I cannot work out how to take out the existing pole from the top central hub. I've removed the bottom cap from it, but am cautious about using too much force.

I will contact Khyam direct but a) It's a weekend and b) they have a reputation for not replying. Can you help?

Thanks in anticipation.

VB

Do not be afraid,

Follow the video,  make sure you turn the pole to release the notches, you may need a little force to push the pole out of the hub.  It will also need a little force to get it back in as it's a tight fit.  It's not easy but it is do-able.   When it's done will be as good as new.  Just make sure that when you replace the pole you put it back in the same as it came out, so that when you turn the notches it is aligned, or you will get to do it all again 

Yep I put it back in wrong way and had to do it all again 

Did think next time will use a marker pen before taking the pole out, not that I intend making a habit of it.

Brilliant. Thanks guys for both the video and "real world" advice.

Looking forward to whacking it out with a mallet!
