[QUOTE="sabre123, post: 10041963, member: 8258"]If you remove the socket and the knurled capture nut, the riser tube and cap looks like it will slide right up and out. The threaded rod goes all the way through to the base, and as Roaring said, there will be a piece of cardboard covering the retaining nut. The whole thing may separate once you have the top parts off. Tough to get a perspective on size, but once you have it torn apart, you can assess how small of a hand, or long of fingers it would take to reach the studs on the swan ornaments. In lieu of not being able the thread the nuts on, you could get some Gorilla Glue and put a few small dots on there to secure it. Looks like there is enough room to hide the glue. I would not advise lifting the thing up by the swans afterward ;)[/QUOTE]
