Sheaffer Junior 275 - Removing The Section


digitalbrush

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Would anyone have any tips on removing the section from a Sheaffer Junior 275? I have tried soaking the pen, applying heat, and using section pliers, but the section just won't budge for me. Please see pics for reference.

 

I currently have the nib and feed removed for cleaning since I couldn't get the section off to replace the sac.

Using dry heat is is your best bet. You may need more than one sycle though. But please put the nib and feed back into the section before you try removing it.

Soak in Rapidoeze overnight. Heat a small area right at the threads to 150 degrees Fahrenheit (use infrared thermometer). And I second Mitto's plea: Don't mess with it until you reinstall the nib and feed.

Got it!!! I ended up wrapping a Goulet rubber grip around the section, taped it, applied a blow-dryer for about a minute, and off it popped. I think I was just concerned about the heat cracking the section so I wasn't heating it up enough. Covering the clear section with the rubber grip did the trick though!

Well done, but you needn't have worried about the section cracking. Your concern should have been with the barrel distorting. You were lucky with your hairdryer.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
