Legrand Clip Wiggles, Is This Normal?

[novarider]

The clip and the end of the cap on my Legrand rollerball wiggle like it's a little loose. Is that normal? I looked in the cap and there isn't a screw I can tighten and the end piece doesn't feel like it will tighten. It's not coming off I just don't like the fact that it's loose.

 

On the inside of the cap there is just a circle that looks like it holds the rollerball tip but I'm not 100% sure.

It is not normal. Pls have your pen inspected by a MB boutique near to you.

I don't have one anywhere close to me and I'm not planning any trips anytime soon.

 

I know clips are replaceable so the end piece must come off somehow.

Yes, you can take apart a MB down to its smallest components. But you need the tools to do that or improvise. Find a way to remove the inner cap and access the clip screw/nut so that you can tighten. Good Luck!

I have had the need to remove a clip from a 162 in the past but it beat me!! There is no screw up there as far as I could tell so just how it was secured is a mystery. I did try unscrewing the snowcap straight off but it was getting to the stage where I was going to damage something. If you do discover the technique then please let us know.

Perhaps email or contact Max (maxpens) with your pen vintage and see if he knows how the pen is meant to disassemble?

 

I don't know about rollerballs but on modern FP's, as you know - it's a simple flat blade screwdriver type screw whereas on older pens, the top just unscrews off like a bottlecap.

 

Shouldn't be a difficult repair! Worse case scenario is a new cap.
