how do I remove the cartridge? It looks as though you take it out with a wrench but i can't budge it. I'm afraid of breaking it. Bought in 1999

Just put a box wrench (not adjustable) on it and it should come out - Mine was installed in '97 and I first removed it a only couple years ago you may try PB Blaster penetrating oil - let it soak for a couple hours - that stuff works wondersremember to clean it (PB) all off before reassembly unless you want to taste PB for a whileHere's another tip - put a small amount of silicon grease on the threads when you put it back together (also for any other plumbing jobs) - that makes it much easier next time around.

Yes, you'll want to use a wrench. If you look closely you'll see the assembly is threaded, but doubt it could be tough getting an old one out.

I had a hard time but I was turning the wrench the wrong way. Once I turned it in the right direction I had no problem

No, you won't break it. But I do suggest using some PB blaster to help loosen up some of the built up gunk holding it from being removed easily. You just take a pair of vice grips and gently turn it until it breaks free. Let the PB take about 1/2 hour to work. And be sure to turn off the water!!!! My mom changed ours in no time at all. Easy to do. Just be patient to let the PB work.

It's been a while since I changed the cartridge, but I do remember having to remove the whole valve assembly from the countertop (removing supply and exit hose, etc.) so I could apply enough torque to get it apart.

Hey joenaples,did you try removing the cartridges and put them in back?when doing that press each cartridge firmly near the lock until you hear a click for each cartridge,the chip on the cartridge's has to ground properly for the printer to recognize it,worth a try,it works for me..

try running a print head clean with a new cartridge, otherwise you may need a new print head

Uncap the pen and unscrew in the middle.... The cartridge should be pilot... The standard cartridge doesn't fit,....

It's pretty easy. Just turn the cartridge to the left to loosen it and it will come right out of the housing. Makes for replacing the cartridge without disturbingthe rest of the pump easy and quick.

It can be struck pretty tight but it will unscrew the usual counter-clockwise. At least once, I have taken the device off of the faucet to get a better grip. Once off the faucet, you might even use expandable groove pliers since the cartridge is going in the trash. You might try a light coating of liquid soap on the threads of the replacement cartridge.

I use my printer more often than you do so I don't have your problem, but I'll offer a suggestion you might consider. That is to remove the cartridges before you are going to leave it for a period of time and seal the it with scotch tape. I do remove my cartridges with regularity so know you can take them out and put them back in quite a few times. Like I said, I've never tried this but it doesn't sound like you have anything to lose by trying it. Good luck.

Turn printer on pull down panel just above the tray that catches you printouts. The print cartridges will go to the center of the track so you can see them. A picture on the inside of the cover will show you how to take a used cartridge out and replace it with a new one

Sounds more like a statement than a question, try ejecting the cartridge using a small screwdriver push away from the handle on the white square at the center of the cartridge it should just pop off,then run some warm water on the head of the handle to soften any buildup, manually exercise the pivot and eject mechanisms to free them, then shake out the water and lubricate with a few drops of light mineral oil like the kind used on electric razors and beard trimmers, 3 in one multipurpose lubricant used on sewing machines should do the trick.

unscrew the body of the pen; take the whole nib assembly out. Then pull the converter straight out. It will require some force, but the converter will slide out. You can then put the cartridge in its place.

Feel at the bottom of the left hand butt cover and lift the cover off. Unscrew the winged bolt at the bottom quite a long way. Then the cartridge should just fall out. If it doesn't, put two fingers at the top of the cartridge and just pull it downwards. Put the new cartridge in the same way round and then screw up the winged bolt until a little resistance is felt. Then screw it quickly up to a fairly heavy finger tightness. Clip on the butt cover and you then are ready to kill a few tin cans. Good luck.

You do not have to remove any screws or take off the back. Just slide paper guide to the rear and remove. Flip out ink cartridge and replace with new one. Replace paper guide. That's it

Try this. grasp the sides of the ink cartridge firmly and the press the front top clip on the cartridge till you can pull it straight up. If that doesn't work do the same (pressing front top clip on the cartridge) and jiggle the sides of the cartridge and at the same pulling up gently until it breaks lose. It's also possible to remove the print head but that can be done by squeezing the two clips at the back top of the print head and lifting. I would avoid this unless it's absolutely necessary because you may have to replace the print head once removed. Just be careful and work gently with the information described above. Good luck.

it shouldn't be too stiff. i've never had a problem pulling the bit out. Perhaps your release is stuck? When you press on the area with the 5 grooves, the area near the bit should lift off a little showing that it's unlocked/released.

I am hardly an expert which is important because I have had no problem replacing the cartridge. It can only go in correctly. Try again. Good luck.

Did you contact the seller for support? It sounds like it could be a bad chip on the cartridge. A replacement should solve the issue.

This replacement only has the cartridge. you will need to get the puller to remove the old cartridge if it has been in use for a while. It can be done without the puller but it is very difficult if the cartridge is frozen in place.
