My 149 decided it needed a full teardown tonight. Removing the nib for the first time the section also came loose. I needed to remove the nib unit to give it a more thorough cleaning since I didn't get it as clean as I felt I did. Ink from the previous owner was still trapped within the nib unit.
I guess with my bad fingers I was not holding it tight enough and halfway through unscrewing the nib, the section came loose. My first time actually seeing the pink adhesive in person. Evidently, once that stuff is exposed there's no screwing it back in! So, I just unscrewed it completely. I'll complete it tomorrow.
