< align=justify><FONT color=#35973f size=3>These nibs screw in using the conventional right-hand thread. Using your fingers only (don't use any type of tool), grip the nib close to the barrel, away from the point, and gently but firmly unscrew. Do not grip the nib by the edges, since doing so could mis-align the tines. If the pen is not new, dried ink could conceivably be "gluing" the current nib into the section and it may seem like it won't unscrew.</FONT></P>
< align=justify><FONT color=#35973f size=3>In that case, soak the nib end of the pen, up to about 3/4" over the edge of the section, in household ammonia for ten minutes or so, and flush in and out during the soaking, to clean out the filling system itself. This should dissolve any dried ink. Dry off the nib/feed/section and try to unscrew the nib again. You may want to use a soft cloth or tissue so that your fingers don't get soiled. Some paper towels are coarse enough to scratch the gold finish on fountain pens and nibs, therefore we recommend soft cloths or soft tissues.</FONT></P>
< align=justify><FONT color=#35973f size=3>When screwing in a nib, gently but firmly tighten into the section, and realize that it will require about the same amount of force to remove the nib as was required to tighten it. Do not over-tighten. </FONT></P>
