A Skyline cap is fairly straight forward. The derby unscrews along with the clip from the top of the cap. The inner cap, which is attached, is threaded. You may need to soak it a bit to soften the dried ink before it unscrews.

Geez... how come I did not see this 3 hours ago when I spent the best part of an hour trying to get it undone and back together again...!!!!

thanks Dennis... I now know why you said in your DVD that the cap/clip re-assembly is a bit of a pain...

cheers
Trevor
