Was getting stiff after nearly 9 years since purchased new. Homemade 7.8mm spanner. LH threads.

Another way to do is from nib unit end. Easy access and no tools needed. But I prefer to remove the filler on pens its possible on and grease the seal walls. Ymmv.

 

Hope the pics help someone else attempting DIY.

After my 101N Lizard 'came apart (I did send it back to Pelikan) I realised that the piston would unscrew. An old credit card with a notch of the right size works as well as a spanner.

Impressive!

thanks

 

Very nice - I have been eyeing the M101 since it has become much more affordable. Thanks.

thanks

very true, I made a similar tool earlier before switching to a Fountainbel made spanner for my m800/m1000

My M101N Lizard also screwed it self apart recently when I was cleaning it. I ended up using some dial calipers as a wrench to put it back together. Making a wrench would have been better and I expect if I was disabling instead of putting it back it would have been needed more.

 

Congrats on making something. It's too bad the TWSBI wrench didn't work, but I expect it could be modified to work. If the caliper hadn't worked I was going to modify a plastic card like the good captain did.

      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
