How do you get it onto a grab bar that is already installed. Does it come apart?

Yes, it does come apart. Also mine had 2 different sizes of the U that wraps the bar to fit different sizes of grab bars. My holder works really well. Was only one I could find to work like this. All strong plastic, so no parts to rust.

It's not good, that's for sure. There are two solutions: either move over slightly and attach your grab bar to the stud with some other hardware besides the wingit, or move away from the stud and drill a big enough hole to use the wingit. In either case, line things up so that when you drill the next hole and attach hardware, you are covering or eliminating the first 1/4" hole you drilled.

I never pulled it apart. I just placed the rod between the 2 walls of the stall at the height I needed and kept on twisting the end following the arrows directions on the instructions side to expand and tighten it.

It's pretty pliable metal, you remove the nut and bolt, wrap it around the bar, then reattach. Really simple!!

Hi Helena, I guess theres no trick...too much of muscle power.. I had this problem, i somehow forced it into the base and it is stuck forever now i guess the two side bars went inside the middle one is out...but its locked

Hi Lizh...I am not sure how it should go on mine was already attached when I got it. I would imagine though that you just screw it into the top as far down as you can until it catches. That may do the trick

Jaye, The bar will come out of the little slot with a bit of pressure, but it shouldn't come out unless you are a little rough with the unit. Even if it does come out, it takes little effort to put it back in.

Pull the rubber piece off opposite if the silver piece that inserts into the handle bars. Under the rubber piece is an Allen head screw that you tighten. I believe the package may have come with some sleeves if they are still loose after tightening the screw fully.

It comes apart quite easily, so you're probably trying to unscrew it at the wrong place. Move your handsaround til you find the correct location!

Installing the grab bars into wall studs is the only sensible way to do it. Think about it--a hollow wall will not give a good "hold" and with enough time, the grab bar will eventually disconnect from the hollow wall and all you'll have is the grab bar in your hand as you lay in the tub or shower or floor. I installed 7 of the grab bars in the house and every one of them is screwed into wood. I wanted secure bars that would stay installed forever. Does this help?

Take out the metal part and pull. It was tight for me initially but easier now. If it's not coming out pull harder!

Just so you know you do have to screw (YOU SHOULD BUY YOUR OWN SCREWS. the ones in the package dulled out on me and had to get a screw extractor) and mount it. Once that's done. Yes its easy to put in and take out. I have mine screwed in the bottom for sit ups and at the top for pull ups. Its all just tightening and untightening the bar. To be honest I kind of regret buying this because of the whole mounting. There are ones that you can just hang off from your door if you wanted to do pull ups like what my friend has. That's just my opinion. Good luck.

I'm not sure, but it does look like you can use a small flat-head screw driver and gently remove the bar.

You just have to twist the handle to loosen it and then pull up on it . Then twist back. To tighten.

It has to be a completely smooth surface and it will only take a limited amount of pressure. If you are going to pull yourself up you should have regular grab bars installed. This one is meant only to steady one's self.

Mine just comes apart easily, in fact it falls off if I lift up the metal part. Maybe because it's old. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

Yes. There is one bolt that you remove. It has a nice plastic head to grip. And then the bar comes off.
