Full Version: Disassembling Parker 25 cap

Could anyone here help me with it? What tools should I use and what steps should I take to remove the clip and all the plastic parts including the top cap? It's probably worth mentioning that it's an FP cap.


EDIT:

OK, I think I got it. Gently pushing the plastic jewel with something of similar diameter (empty cartridge in my case) seems to do the trick smile.gif Although I pushed just a little to see if it would go. It did.

Now I'm trying to do the same with Parker 25 ballpoint, but it would not move even a bit. Should I use more force or is there another, gentle way to do this? Help.

OK, so maybe someone at least has (I know many people on FPN do) access to the Parker 1993 Service Manual and can look it up on page 12 in section "Ball Pens"? Please?



(My local library does not have this useful book. What a shame wink.gif )

Allright, I'll have to answer myself again since nobody wants to say anything to me.

The answer is: knock-out block + much more force

I suppose you all did know that well, but were waiting for me to discover it myself. How kind smile.gif
