Dissasembly of slim twist pen

[JohnDrayton]

I know this has probably been discussed before, but how do you dissasemble a slim twist pen, (the lower barrel), I have one that cracked on assembly and have to make a new lower barrel but can't figure how to take it apart, or should I just throw it away and use a new kit?

JD, I had that problem and tried to take the twist mech out and everything, time and effort I finally threw it away and started over. Made a few upper spare parts for my inventory. Maybe someone else has a method but I sure could not figure it out.

THANKS BUT JUST FOUND AN OLD POST THAT DISCRIBES THE METHOD, I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT YOU COULD PUT A ROD THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION TO KNOCK OUT THE TIP FIRST! WILL TRY IT TODAY.

Go to the PSI site "http://www.pennstateind.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=LIBR&Store_Code=PSI" and look for the instruction on how to use there pen disassembly tool. You don't need the tool.......just looking at the instruction give you all you need to do the job. There are instruction for other types of pens also.

Harbor Freight transfer punch set - less than 10 bucks and can be used to disassemble most any pen

The HF transfer punch set is definitely one of the best investments I've made in pen making tools.

Definitely, harbor freight. Don't go there for a lot but that set of punches has paid for itself several times in the last yr or so.
