hari317 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 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.

markiv Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Very nice - I have been eyeing the M101 since it has become much more affordable. Thanks. http://i.imgur.com/LFBZU.jpg Link to post Share on other sites
The Good Captain Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 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. The Good Captain "Meddler's 'Salamander' - almost as good as the real thing!" Link to post Share on other sites

Driften Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 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.

Lam1 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Very interesting! I thought the M101Ns were friction fit! Link to post Share on other sites
