Hi
I got a used Platinum 3776 from ebay but it had a big gap between the nib and the feed and so it would stop writing after a little while. It seemed to me that the previous owner tried to adjust the nib but didn't properly set the nib and feed back. So I decided to remove the setup and reinsert them properly. But I am not able to remove the feed from the section. After a lot of effort, the nib came out but the feed doesn't budge.
I have tried soaking it in warm water with a little soap, but so far it hasn't worked. While I have dabbled(fairly successfully) till now in tinkering with fountain pens(mostly with cheap chinese pens), I am still quite new to this and really don't want to damage this pen(I like it a lot despite it's problems). Can anyone suggest some other way to loosen the feed or anything else to fix this problem?
Thanks
