It just keeps turning but doesn't appear to want to unscrew from the central retaining screw. Any advice please!
I have just registered the ballhead at Manfrotto and the UK agents appear to be a company called Daymen in Wolverhampton - if I need to send the base/head unit to be fixed, is this the place to send it to?
Thanks

You need to go in from the underside of the head platform after removing the short section of the centre column, you'll need an extension bar and a socket, (don't know the size). You need to access this if you want to change the thread from 3/8" whit to 1/4" whit, it was a double ended screw in my column.
