How do I change nibs on a Jinhao 82?

Its easy on an X750, it just pulls out.  But on an 82, the nib screws out on some plastic thing.  They don't seem to be able to separate. 

My debt he paid, my death he died, that I might live.

The unit does screw out, but this is not the way to go.

 

The nib and feed can simply be pulled. Takes a bit of wiggling (and sometimes easier to pull the nib separately), but can be done. Many of these seem to have been tested and are inky, so watch out for your fingers.

What specifically do you mean by that?

I change nibs on (and/or between) my Jinhao 82 pens by doing exactly that, if I want the red one to have an EF nib and the blue one to have an F nib today, but reverse the assignments tomorrow, for example. There's no need to pull the nib and feed out of the collar that holds them together, just to “change nibs on a Jinhao 82”.

Looks can be deceiving. I happen to have the grip section, nib collar, feed, and (metal) nib all soaking as separated components inside my ultrasonic cleaning tank right this minute.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Thank you for that. 

 

Its amazing how when someone tells you it is removeable, it suddenly becomes very easy to remove.  🤔

I’m having trouble swapping the nib. I got the nib and feed out.  But getting the feed and stub nib I bought for it back in is not working well.  I can usually exchange nibs this way. I was able to swap an Anderson stub nib in a nicer Jinhao. I did buy what someone said was the right Jinhao stub nib, but it isn’t marked with the Jinhao logo. 
 

Now that I look at the stub nib, compared to the nib that came with the pen, I don’t think it’s a compatible nib. Darn. 
 

Now that I’ve finally got the nib and feed back in the housing, with difficulty, I found a little o ring. Where does it go?

The little O ring goes on top of the nib housing, to prevent ink leaking down between the nib housing and the inside of the section of the pen.

I slipped the O-Ring over the nib, and down as far as I could. Was that right?

 

No. Try slipping it onto the exterior of the nib collar from the ‘nipple’/threaded end, then sliding it all the way up until it rests against the flared rim at the top.

That makes sense. I figured it didn’t belong on the feed. I just slipped it on until someone with knowledge replied. I was expecting it from you @A Smug Dill since you had disassembled your pen. Thank you very much.

I managed to break the o ring for my newest Jinhao 82. Do I need to worry about that?

I wouldn't put the pen in a white shirt pocket.  Just in case. 

 

My son had braces on his teeth.  I think I tried using a spare elastic from his brace.  It was about the same size as the o ring. 

I can't remember if it was successful or not.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
