how do you remove and replace the swivel head assembly? Is the PVC glued to this part or should it pull off with reasonable force?

I believe that it is permanently attached and only comes apart at the hose. Exactly which part is it that you are wanting to replace? I have replaced the wings and the rubber suction part and that comes off easily.

Do you mean removing the swivel head assembly from the drive tubes or the swivel cone and bearing?

The head does swivel in all directions, I have not yet figured out how to remove the head to remove the hitch form the bed. Probably would need to contact Curt as how this is done, if possible.

Yes it is very easy. Remove the old head, apply Teflon tape to the threads and apply the new shower head. Hand tightening is all that is needed as this is plastic material.

We had the same question. We took a picture of both to a hardware store and they sold us the proper heavyduty bolts to use to secure the seat to the swivel. We attached the swivel first to the boat then attached the seat last.

Yes to both questions. Limited head swivel due to the amount of rated tow weight ability. A couple of removal pins and the head can be removed to reduce the weight of install and take off.

I've never tried to get replacement parts from the manufacturer, but I did get a few side panel screws from Orchard Supply. I just took one in and said, "sell me about 20 of these." (I'd stripped many of the heads trying to figure out how it went together.) They didn't have any trouble finding a match.

Yes, easily! I tried accessing the screw on the swivel by bending the disc. The disc popped off, but did not break! I easily reassembled it and now I have a lazy susan lying around for whatever. The ball bearing stabilizers come off easily too. Center swivel will leave 4 pilot holes and ball bearings leave 2 pilot holes and 2 quarter-sized indents about 1.5 cm deep. I have this item stacked on another shelf and it was causing it to buckle. Removing the swivel distributed the weight much better! Referring to your question, it does not lie perfectly flat with the surface underneath, since the caps on the 4 main support carry the weight. Note: these caps are slippery! Yes, easily!

It is fixed. If there were anything I would change it would be to make it swivel, but as is it does not get in the way. and really for the price you can't beat it.

It is welded to the base. You cannot remove it. You will have to look for one that is inter-changeable.

The swivel bracket has a permanent screw that screws into the rod below it on the picture. I don't know if you can actually remove it without ruining the swivel bracket. It's not a normal screw. The part you can see going through the swivel is smooth and goes through the bracket. The underneath screw part is not a round screw, but more oval shape with threading only on part of it. Hard to explain. The sizing would be tricky.

No, you can not remove the swivel part. It is attached to the bottom board with no visible screws. The kit comes with a top and bottom board plus the four legs that you must attach yourself. I just didn't attach the bottom board which accomplishes the same thing (the legs just rest directly on my desk, no bottom board and thus no swivel). R. Sachs' answer is also a neat idea.

Yes. I had an extra head of much better quality and simply screwed it on after removing the one that came with product.

Not sure about the warranty. I'm assuming that you bought this "used" when you say that it is a return item? As far as instructions go, it is really easy. You just have to get a pretty good wrench and undo your old head at the thread and then screw the new one on.

Yes, the head unscrews and you can replace the head with another. Mine was bent so I unscrewed it from the base and took a head from ground sprinkler. But be sure nothing has been bent and the sprinkler is level. Also, some have been manufactured with the "arm" that controls the spraying upside down. The "arm" should be straight out and the bar that hits the water should be bent DOWN not up. If you have the bend going up there is no way that I could figure out how to fix that. -------\ NOT ______/

It can be taken down. I think the bolts will come out fine. It will be time consuming, but definitely doable. Just make sure you don't lose any parts or you'll have to reorder from Lifetime directly. As long as you keep the manual, reassembly should go smoothly.

I don't know, but my wife drew my attention to a plastic part in the head's swivel that I am sorry to see. Not quite the old type I was looking for.

Hi, the nuts unscrew from the hose, some to the left some to the right, the hose will slide on or off the end of the swivel after the nut is backed off. Be sure to push the hose up a far as possible when reattaching the nut to help reduce leaks, mine always leak a little though.
