How to disassemble Pelikan?

[quocsan]

Hello Everybody!

 

I am from Vietnam and have just joined the forum.

I would like to put some questions about Pelikan pens.

I have some Pelikan pens (M150, M200, M250),

but have no idea how to disassemble parts of these pens: blind cap, clip.

I need to pull them apart for cleaning and lubricating.

 

Any answers or suggestions are welcomed.

 

Thanks,

San

Hi,

 

Why would you like to disassemble them?

 

The cap would require you to unscrew the metal ring that sits around the Pelikan captop logo. The ring is on your particular pen is black chrome plated. After this, the whiole cap comes apart. To reassemble, drop the inner cap into the cap paying attention to the alignment grooves on the inner cap, Then screw the pen back into the cap and proceed to place the clip and screw down the ring. Keep in mind that there is an alignment mark on the cap for the clip.

 

For the rest of the pen, you need special tools to pull the assembly out of the pen. Do not attempt it!

Hi Dillon,

Thank you your your quick reply.

Cap problem is solved. But I wish I could take the blind-cap apart so that I could clean the piston thoroughly.

this is not the proper way, but if you unscrew the blind cap until pipston reachs top travel and gently continue to force the knob in the extending piston direction, the press fitted assembly does comes loose 80% of the time. I repeat, this is not the proper procedure, whenever I'm at home and not have the shop tools in hand I use this method, but it does require patience and gentle hands. Some of them do not want to come appart this franken-way.

Thank you for your useful answer, Jicaino.

I'll keep your advice in mind.

Note that you can lubricate the piston seal from the nib end. Unscrew and remove the nib, place a tiny bit of pure silicon grease against the piston seal and work the piston a few times. That will do the trick as far as lubrication goes. There is no need to clean the piston mechanism unless there is very unusual leakage or damage to the pen.

 

Good Luck with your pens.
