Hello to the repair guru's

Can anyone tell me if in that location is a special tool used to remove Parker arrow clips and jewels?
Regardless of this, can i be removed and replaced hands, and if then, can I exist provided with the details?

Thanks in advance.

Vacumatics, 51, 61, etc., with conical plastic jewels. You need a sticky, rubber canvas. A one-half inch wide fresh rubber band works well too. Someone on Zoss once recommended the condom stoppers from blood sample tubes - they take a concave conical top surface. Cut a length of plastic coffee stirring straw and sideslip it over the clip ball to protect the cap. Press the jewel into the prophylactic and twist counterclockwise. You will often accept to warm the cap to soften the thread sealant. You will occasionally twist off the plastic precious stone or find one that defies your efforts. Then remove the brass spiral that holds the prune in place - you'll need to find/grind different widths for fountain pens and pencils. On metal-cap pens, the inner cap will oftentimes turn with the clip spiral and you'll demand to concur it with a tapered dowel, disassembled plastic pen barrel, etc.

Belatedly 51 and 61 with metal jewels, 45, 75, etc. The metal jewels are also threaded but more hard to remove than the plastic gem either because they're screwed in more tightly or because I'm not warming the thread sealant enough. Gold plating is fragile. Oh, and Parker-Eversharps from the early '60s with a 45-like prune gem - Big E, for example - the precious stone is a rivet, non a screw, and so they're not meant to be disassembled.

Vacumatics, 51, 61, etc., with conical plastic jewels. Y'all demand a gummy, safe canvas. A half inch wide fresh condom band works well too. Someone on Zoss once recommended the prophylactic stoppers from blood sample tubes - they have a concave conical top surface. Cut a length of plastic coffee stirring straw and slip it over the clip ball to protect the cap. Press the jewel into the rubber and twist counterclockwise. Yous volition ofttimes have to warm the cap to soften the thread sealant. You will occasionally twist off the plastic jewel or find one that defies your efforts. Then remove the brass spiral that holds the clip in identify - you'll need to discover/grind unlike widths for fountain pens and pencils. On metallic-cap pens, the inner cap will often plough with the clip screw and you'll demand to concur it with a tapered dowel, disassembled plastic pen butt, etc.

Late 51 and 61 with metal jewels, 45, 75, etc. The metallic jewels are also threaded just more than hard to remove than the plastic precious stone either because they're screwed in more than tightly or because I'1000 not warming the thread sealant enough. Gold plating is frail. Oh, and Parker-Eversharps from the early '60s with a 45-like clip precious stone - Big E, for example - the jewel is a rivet, not a screw, then they're not meant to be disassembled.

Thanks for your response Matt

Vacumatics, 51, 61, etc., with conical plastic jewels. You need a sticky, rubber sheet. A one-half inch broad fresh safe band works well also. Someone on Zoss once recommended the rubber stoppers from blood sample tubes - they have a concave conical elevation surface. Cut a length of plastic coffee stirring straw and slip information technology over the prune ball to protect the cap. Press the jewel into the rubber and twist counterclockwise. You will oftentimes have to warm the cap to soften the thread sealant. Yous will occasionally twist off the plastic gem or observe one that defies your efforts. So remove the brass screw that holds the clip in place - you'll need to find/grind different widths for fountain pens and pencils. On metal-cap pens, the inner cap will oft turn with the clip screw and you lot'll need to hold information technology with a tapered dowel, disassembled plastic pen barrel, etc.

Late 51 and 61 with metal jewels, 45, 75, etc. The metallic jewels are also threaded only more hard to remove than the plastic jewel either because they're screwed in more than tightly or considering I'm not warming the thread sealant enough. Gold plating is fragile. Oh, and Parker-Eversharps from the early on '60s with a 45-similar prune jewel - Big East, for example - the jewel is a rivet, not a screw, so they're not meant to be disassembled.

Thanks for your response Matt

Use a bit of inner-tube from a bike tire or ane of those pads used to provide grip to open jars. Y'all tin also find sheets of rubber at hardware stores on this side of the equator, might try that down under.

You volition often have to warm the cap to soften the thread sealant. Y'all volition occasionally twist off the plastic gem or find one that defies your efforts.

Late 51 and 61 with metal jewels, 45, 75, etc. The metallic jewels are also threaded but more than difficult to remove than the plastic jewel either considering they're screwed in more than tightly or because I'm not warming the thread sealant enough. Gold plating is delicate. Oh, and Parker-Eversharps from the early '60s with a 45-similar clip gem - Large Due east, for example - the precious stone is a rivet, not a screw, so they're non meant to exist disassembled.

I have to become and have some blood tests taken soon so may merely inquire if I tin can larn one of the claret sample tubes.

Utilize a fleck of inner-tube from a bike tire or one of those pads used to provide grip to open jars. You can also detect sheets of safety at hardware stores on this side of the equator, might try that down under.

I got a UK Parker Duofold sent to me from a friend in the UK in straight response to my plea for the clip and jewel to allow me to complete my Senior and offset using it. i LOVE it'due south Newhaven broad nib, and miss using information technology.

What I was sent is non a Senior, but I would similar to meet if the gem and prune volition fit.
