Manfrotto 085BS boom assembley

Either I'm a wimp, I'm stupid, both or my boom sections are meant to stay together. For the life of me, I can not easily assemble and disassemble the boom sections. I've got the set screws backed off, but the aluminum inserts are just to tight.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Ralph

Loosen both set screws. If you just loosen one, you won't get too far.

Just come over and show me how much you appreciate me, Ralph. Just be sure to keep a brown paper bag over your head.
LOL

I'd be more impressed if there were sandwiches in that brown paper bag instead, one can easily turn off the lights, but hunger remains even in the dark
