Thanks for the reply Deepseeker, and your advice.

It sounds like you've had quite a battle with the original shafts in order to use them with large coils...
Glad you've got it sorted in the end.

I've already purchased some of these to replace them on a few detectors I am planning on selling soon.

I don't really want to outlay more money on buying complete shafts, but I thought I'd replace the twist locks, the teardrop washers and handgrips, as they were all a bit worn.

I've been able to get one apart, but I destroyed the little plastic thingy inside it in the process - although it was already pretty worn out.

I'll give it another attempt, and in the meantime hopefully someone else may know the trick to remove and reinstall them.

Thanks again.
