I am devastated ... because unlike other normal people I kicked myself in the nuts twice instead of once. I have two omas paragons .... and I thought I would do some lube work because their piston mechanism was rather stiff. So I opened them up following the guide on youtube and tried lubing them. I however not only broke the small plastic notch inside of one of them but both of them! so now the little rubber stopper will not go up and down like before because there is nothing to hold it.

Does anyone know if I can do anything about this ?

Oh my...I'm so sorry. I think I mentioned the plastic notches in the video, but I forgot to mention that they have a tendency to break if you're not careful. I had no problems, but my pen is solid colored, maybe changing the stress levels it can endure.
Hari might have more on this.
Best,

Fountainbel repaired one of these pens with a sheared tab. he made a post about it on FPN, search it out or contact him directly.

How did the tab break?

Pushed it too hard, but then again it wasn't really that hard or the pen is just flimsy.
