Simply clasp the old nib with a tweezer, needle-nosed plier, or similar instrumentand pull it straight out of the pen. Then slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen – firmlypush the nib until it stops.Warning: Prevent children from swallowing the pen tip or side switch. The pen tip (nib) or sideswitch may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.Note: Stroke nibs are spring-loaded, providing additional tactile feedback when you are working with theIntuos3 pen or Airbrush. Stroke nibs are gray in color and are installed in the same manner as a standardpen nib.To order replacement parts, see other parts and accessories.UNINSTALLING THE SOFTWAREFollow the appropriate procedure below to remove the Wacom tablet driver software from your system.Important: When you remove the Wacom tablet software from your system, your Wacom tablet willno longer operate with full tablet functionality but will continue to function as a mouse device.Windows Vista: Click on the Windows START button and choose C ONTROL PANEL.
