Good morning everyone. For my UK friends, hope your enjoying the heat! Im a newbie at repair so apologies in advance but it doesn't appear straightforward to me.....

I need info on how to replace a c-ring on this Swan pen. Ive got some piano wire to fashion a new ring, but on this pen, the lever seems permanently attached to the pressure bar. its not like I can fashion a new ring to the lever, lower through the bar, and twist into place as I have seen described elsewhere because of the attached bar. If I remove the bar, I can't see how I can reattach it once the lever is in the barrel. Help?




Is there a good image based source of how this lever mechanism all fits back together? I understand that you slide the second part of the bar onto the first via the grooved ridge, but even with it now all out of the pen it's a very tight fit and Im wondering if it's been misshapen, or if I have the correct bits?

Thanks in advance

David
