Click Pen Disassembly

[Emery]

The blank on the sierra click pen that I carry everyday chipped so I disassembled the pen using a punch set which destroyed the click mechanism. Does anyone have a way to disassemble a click pen that doesn't destroy the click mechanism?

If they do I want to hear it, too. Those click pens are the devil.

Add me to the list of the people who want to know. I have destroyed at least two.

Just started turning back in December and I too have messed up a couple of "click" pens. I can get the click mechanisms, but there is another plastic sleeve left that prevent driving out the top without destroying that part. Anyone figured out how to resolve this? Two that I messed up were from Woodcraft and they just sent me complete new tops. Nice of them, but would really like to be able to fix these guys.

Adding myself so I'm notified if there is a resolution to this click pen issue.

I have never tried to disassembled a serria before; however I recently disassembled a clicker from EB. After screwing the tip off I used a small diameter transfer punch (AKA pen disassembly tool) and angled the punch so it caught the side of the click mechanism and tapped it out. Then I used a larger punch just under 3/8" and tapped the part the tip screws onto. You need to use a punch that has a "shoulder", the smaller diameter transfer punches just have a point which won't work. Hope this helps.
