Thank you Marianne , its a very easy procedure that can go easy wrong, I always try to share my experience and help anyone that wants to proceed changing them
Thanks for the informative video. But the red border on your preview-image on RUclips I keep confusing with the red progress-bar at the bottom & think I've watched your videos 'cause there's a red line on the bottom. It shows as partially-filled instead of a complete border if I stop the video mid-way.
You mention this, Emy, but I just want to reinforce the care with which you need to test the seating of the nib. I ruined a Leonardo nib by closing the cap when the pen was not properly seated, and I bent the tines. I hadn't even inked the pen yet! I was just testing nib removal because I was thinking I would trade nibs with another Leonardo pen.
You are correct Shari, like you seen ive mentioned an even showed how gently you need to hold the cap when "testing" this. It has happen to myself as well and at the beginning of my hobby I turned a very pleasing and rewarding moment after installing a nib and the pen was writing flawless - as I capped the pen I felt a snag and a noise that made my heart sink. Yes - the nib got bend and I had too wait for 2 weeks to get another one.
It depends on the pen - universally nibs are friction fitted like the one in this video, but im sure there are exceptions that I don't know about. Let me know the pen model you ask about and lets see.
my recommendation would be this : soak the pen in some warm water for like 30 min (not hot - just as warm as you use to wash your hands) , then wipe the pen to not be slippery (paper towel) - use some rubber things to pul both nib and feed like in my video or if it doesn't work - try extracting the nib first with scotch (like in the video) - maybe its going to work better like this
You may know about knowckout block... Is it better and safety option for for ebonite feed fountain pen. I donot have much idea about nib knowckout block...
I know the specific tool and all but I don't consider being a good start if you are a novice, remember it involves a hammer and things can easy go south if you don't know what to do. I never used a knockout block
Thank you for sharing the proper ways of removing nib units in different ways. Very informative.

Very helpful thanks. Now how to put it back? First the feed and then the nib, or both at the same time?
both at the same time - just like in the video.
I like seeing a new line of technique videos. Thanks! :)
Thank you Scot, from my point of view - the purpose of knowledge is to be shared, this is the only way we all evolve.
Very helpful, thank you very much! By the way, the quality of the vids are definitely improving!
Thank you ! Im glad i could bring this quality in my content :D
Can we replace a Mosaico nib with say a jowo nib?
If its the same size 6 JOWO steel nib - yes it can be replaced, both nibs must have the same feeder type
The Mosaico has an ebonite feed.
Thanks for the informative video.
