One of the posts to my Monitor 7's is broken (see picture).
I removed the cross over and it looks sealed on the backside.
Any thoughts as to how to replace this?
Thinking I'll order all new posts, but just not sure how to get the old ones out.9bnmskrbhmqs.jpg

    The posts are covered in hot glue. Just pick it off. You can use a small screw drive. Once clean, take them apart and replace. After reassembly use hot glue again to prevent air leaks.

    Great thanks, very helpful.
    Assuming after cleaning "take apart" means removing the ring at the base of the shaft, adjacent to the backside of the crossover?

    I may have an old one you should be able to still use your cap can't remember off hand if mine are just like that or octagon either way it would be an unscrew re-screw type of switch in all likelihood

    If you have any laying around that might be best. Seems they are an off size and not carried by any of the vendors I've been able to find. Called Polk and they don't have the part, and couldn't verify the size, though the bolt sizing guide at Lowes indicates it's 8-32 (.1640). If yours is different no worries, I'll keep looking. Thanks!

    If you don't need them, would love to take them off your hands. The 8-32 Home Depot bolt/washer/nut combo is getting the job done, but would like to do it right and put the last banana plug in place!

    I PM'd my contact information.

    MUCH appreciated!
