Don't know how they suggest using it, but have found that a slightly undersized drill bit inserted in the tube and tapped with a rubber mallet, while holding the tube with a rubber cap snaffler, works well. The top cap/finial can be removed in the same manner. The nibb can be removed with a small (No. 7) steel knitting needle inserted from the tip end, and using the hook on the needle to hold the tip to pull it out. Learned that holding the needle in a vice makes for better purchase. A rod of the same diameter of the internal nibb end should also work...but it was inside and difficult to measure. I needed to do all this because I had not yet learned to read directions!

The technique with the disassembly kit works well, but a "transfer punch" set works wonders and will work with most pens. To remove or just retract the transmission, drill a hole in a scrap piece of wood or acrylic that is just a sliding fit on the transmission. Clamp the blank in a vise, insert the transmission and put a transfer punch into the tube. Tap gently but repeatedly. Many light blows will do the job better than one smashing hit

Terry,
Send me an email address and I will send you a pdf of the simple 7mm disassembly tool I made. It does not use hard force on the transmission so there is no danger of damaging the transmission.
