Hi I'm just wondering does anyone here know a easy method to get both ends of a round stic BIC pen off? The tip part is easy but the back/end part is awfully hard.
Thanks in advance. |

Once you have one end off you can push the other end out from inside by using a stiff piece of wire or thin rod,you are less likely to damage it by pushing it out.

Yup, as stated above, push it out with wire hanger.

Thanks for the advice. However I have tried to push it out with a stick, its too tight to be pushed out, and when I force it out the top part the middle circle bit just pops out not the whole end.
Just a question have you's tried to remove the end of the round stic bic pen b4? Or are you just saying this from logic? Cause of course I know pushing it out would be logical but its not working. |

Sorry..its obviously a slightly different problem than I have encounted before.It sounds like the particular one you have is bonded in some way.Sorry to say I don't know the answer but it seems you are left with a couple of possible solutions.
Perhaps apply gentle heat possibly by using very hot water, Perhaps cut the end off neatly and then fix in a replacement end which looks suitable. Cannot think of anything else but hope this helps in some way. Rufus |

Yup. Apparently they're bonding those caps in now. Probably to make it child (and magician) proof. It goes in 1/4". Try cutting off as little as possible at first. You can use either a super fine Japanese saw or a Dremel.
