How do you change a nib on a 100N?
Is there perhaps a link to DYI maintenance?
Thanks,

The entire nib assembly should just unscrew from the section. Being careful not to use excessive force, grip the nib with thumb and forefinger as near to its base as possible, and twist in an anti-clockwise direction. If the action seems too stiff, it may need flushing/soaking to remove dried ink.
Bear in mind that the 100N will not accept the nib assembly of any other Pelikan model, although you may be able to use a different nib with the existing one.

Just be careful, huh?
I've seen too many sections cracked or feeds broken.
I generally recommend against casual nib swaps on vintage Pelikans, and when removing nibs prefer to "walk" them out rather than risking a cracked section.
