Parker 21 hood removal

Hi, I want to do a nib transplant on an NOS Parker 21, from EF to Med.
This is the 21 model with the "brittle" plastic, not a Super 21. I've
been successful at removing Super 21 and 51 Special hoods using hot
H2O and gripping cloth. Is there a good way to do the 21, and is it
worth the risk? TIA. Walt

No its not worth the risk. In fact its just plain nuts. The hood
removes the same way as a 51 if you want to take huge risk of wrecking a
mint pen for no real reason. Esp when you can easily get pocket fulls
of M nib used 21s easily since they are so common. Frank
