This post is somewhat a duplicate of my question posted in my "DEALS" thread. I put it here to reach out to the FP experts.
My issue:
I have just received a 18K Jowo Triple purchased from Dawn. She is right, suggesting this nib will look fantastic on a Lotus style pen. I have a small problem: removing the nib from the triple where it is presently residing. I need to fit the nib to the Lotus. It is just stuck in there TIGHT! Does anyone have a suggestion for getting that feed/nib out of there without doing damage? I have reasonably strong hands and fingers, but cannot get it to budge when trying to unscrew the feed from the housing. Also unsuccessful trying to just pull the nib out directly. I am being a bit cautious, since my customer has already put down the Big Bucks, and I am sure he does not want a mangled solid gold nib on his new pen! Humble thanks to whoever will alleviate my dilemma.
