I was upgrading my display today and one had the bolt moved out of position. I could move it but need to disassemble it to tighten the screw in the top section. Tried using my super grip but no dice. Suggestions?
Disassemble bolt action pen?

The screw used to loosen and tighten the bolt in place is accessed through the 'bottom' of the mechanism in all the bolt actions I've made.
Get a small long Philips head and go in through the tube. As far as removing the cap, I'd be very careful and use a pair of plumbers pliers with the tip protectors on. Maybe!

Familiar with the location of the screw. The cap is very tight. Don't want to ruin it.

Update: Removed the tip, spring and refill. Found a long skinny Phillips head screwdriver. Evidently either the screw or threads were bad. Never could get the screw tight. Was careful to keep from stripping the threads. Anyway, I salvaged the blank, refill and spring. And no more bolt action kits!
