PARKER CAP ACTUATED BALLPOINT CLICKER ARBOR (MC Tool)

This tool locks the clicker mechanism in a Parker cap actuated ballpoint so you can remove the jewel (you will need additional tool remove jewel). You insert the MC tool in the open end of a cap. Once the jewel has been removed, you can then remove the bushing. The bushing is the piece that holds the clip, cap shell, and internal mechanism all together. (What we call a jewel is "Clip Screw" in Parker repair manual parlance).

At this point you can work dents out of the cap or replace the clicker mechanism or clip, or whatever else your need may be with the cap disassembled. This works for all the vintage Parker cap actuated BPs: 51, 45, 61, etc. The two slots in the tool lock-up with two tabs in the clicker ratchet mechanism so you can apply torque to unscrew things holding the cap together. We suggest a Gooey cube and item our ITEM #13732 in addition to the MC tool.

Mike Conway, a Parker employee, was going around the plant in Janesville collecting the old one-way (to tighten) machine ends for putting caps together. Then he started putting handles on so they could be used to repair. He realized that THIS design - what's pictured below - was "what was needed" as it operates in both directions (to tighten and to loosen), so he made a bunch of these, one of which I glommed onto. (He said it was OK for me to make these, by the way) - Thus the part # designation, "MC".
