Removing Pelikan nib from feed

Could those here who know please advise me if there is anything special
to removing a Pelikan nib from its feed? Early as well as recent nibs.
Thanks

I am trying to find out if there is anything special to removing the
nib itself from the unit that unscrews from the pen. I mix and match
barrels and nib/feed units so much that I wish I had kept track of what
pen they came on. I need to do metal work on a Pelikan nib that will
involve getting it off of the feed.

all you need to do is drill the right sized hole in a piece of wood
and tap the feed out with something that won't damage it.

I wonder if I should put myself in ESCROW!!

I did it once, with an old Pelikan nib. I used the following instructions:

Pen should be well cleaned.

So the part that has the threads that go into the barrel is just a ring
that slips off?

Yes... but why do you want to take the nib/feed assembly apart?????
It's totally unnecessary, and by mucking around like that, you run the
risk of misaligning the nib when you re-assemble the pieces or worse,
inadvertently widening the feeder ring thus resulting in a loose fit
and wobbly nib. Somebody else mentioned using a "knock-out block" type
thing to remove the feeder ring. Although that'd be the best way to do
it, you can just slip the ring off with your fingers (hold the ring and
push the back of the feeder toward the nib tip). --- B

Just a Point of Clarification.

1 There is a RING that fits OVER the NIB and holds it onto the FEED (the
threaded part is part of the feed).

2 As for removing the nib from the feed; I believe you are correct.
There is usually no reason to do so. Disassemble only if the flow needs
adjustment, or you have experienced SITB or mold and need to do a thorough
cleaning.

3 If it isn't broke don't fix it.

Hi Ken,
I don't have a Peli here with me, but I believe the feeder ring is the
threaded part (the outside of the ring threads inside the section). The
ring friction fits over the feed. The feed itself has no threads. -- B
