Situation: a gold Visconti (Bock) nib quite badly misaligned between the feed and the housing. Nib will not move with reasonable pressure. Feed will not pull out.
Help!
Please.
Full Version: Visconti nib stuck between feed & housing ... Help!
Well, you could try adding friction to the mix by wrapping a rubber band around the nib, or add excessive force by wrapping a paper towel around the nib and pulling with pliers, but if I were you, I would send the pen to someone who really knows what he's doing. Alternately, is the nib unit a screw-in unit? If so, screwing it out may give you better access to the nib.
Good luck,

I have already screwed the housing out.
The problem is removing the feed & the nib from the housing in order to re-align the nib.
You may have better luck with a little more leverage but screwing the unit back into the pen then pull the nib and feed. A slight amount of heat in the form of a hair drier may also help.
