Speaking of Everlast metal bag hooks - I have one and it's been getting kind of noisy, so I sprayed it with a bit of WD-40 and now it's nice and quiet again. (I'm not screwing up by using WD-40 on it, am I?)

Not a bit, the only thing bad about WD40 is that it attracts dust. However, it's not hurting a thing.

I prefer to use graphite. To do this, first unscrew the assembly and clean the ball and cup really well with something like gojo and water to clean all the oil and junk out of there. Then apply the graphite and it lubricates it very well without attracting dust.

Other "dry" lubricants such as some commercially available bicycle chain dry lubes work just as well.

Yup, I've used a product called White Lightening - it's a bike chain lube, wax-based, but it works pretty good on a speed bag swivel...

ABSOLUTELY.

The holes are in a different configuration. What you'll need to do is drill new holes to bolt the swivel onto your board.

I have the same swivel and I also enlargened the holes on the new swivel to accomodate 1/4" bolts.

I hope this answers your question!

I have a bit that can do just that.

I think the hook and ball swivel makes you work harder, so it's good to have both.

Chris M. is correct in that you will need to center the new swivel and drill new holes. You don't really need to make the holes Larger on the metal swivel base, just make sure your thin bolts go all the way through and use washers on the top part to protect the nut(s) from sinking into the wood. I prefer to use wing nuts on top, making it easier to take off later.

Thanks alot brother! Either way sounds like it will get me home.

I like the wing nuts idea also.

Thanks!

I took Chris' advice (Home Depot/Lowe's were closed by the time I read this thread) and drilled through the existing hole on one end, and drilled a new hole on the other to fit the mounting bracket.

It fits perfectly, and the action on this swivel is worth it. The workout is much better.

Thanks for the tips.
