I'm having difficulty removing the tip. Any suggestions other then pliers? I tried heating it up and cooling it off in the freezer too.

When cool, turn counter clockwise. It is hard to start. You could try using one of those jar opener grips to get a better hold on it.

I caught mine in time to peel it off. Maybe reheat it and try to get it off. Good Luck.

Use needle nose pliers and pull out, I also used Phillips screw driver to push out from the back. They work great!

I had one tip come off, but I fixed it by putting a little super glue around the edges and I put it back on. I haven't had any problems after that.

I've had no problem just pulling the rubber tip off -- I've had to do it twice since the first inch wasn't enough. If it just won't come off, then I suggest you send it back for exchange, or money back.

Hi, Well there are two ways I have used. Spray some WD40 around the top of the old tip then try to turn the tip with some pliers and wiggle it off. (If you do not have WD40 try 3in1 oil or baby oil). If it still does not give, soak the rubber tip in VERY HOT soapy water and with pliers, wiggle. The last resort is to cut the old tip off (with a box cutter or with a small hand drill using the small circular bit. Good luck!

So from the top - unplug the dremel, push and hold the metal pin to lock it. Twist the black metal piece, the collet nut (you might need a wrench if its tight) and then to remove the collet, which is what I believe you are asking about - I just grab mine with my fingers and twist it out. You could use pliers but its soft metal (ideally you won't need it anymore I guess) I hope this helps.

I had to use pliers, but it did come off eventually. Just keep trying, I guess.

I've tried pliers and even a hammer and it still won't budge. If it is not on tight, then it leaks. But as it is nearly impossible to remove, am tossing out the unit today and have canceled my subscription for the filters.

I had the exact same problem! I finally just pulled the handle straight out with pretty strong force and it came out. Good luck.

You might insert a small drill or machine thread tap or an awl, which is tapered, into the nozzle and when it's tight, press the release button on the top front of the waterflosser and extract the broken tip. Also you might try bending a kink in the shank of a paper clip above ii's tip and inserting same into the tip vent hole until it is a snug fit and then press the release and lift out the broken tip.And as always........ have a nice day.The Grumpy Grouper

Pull it off. As you pull it, it comes to what appears to be as far as it goes, slide it a little more and it will come off. Doesn't hurt it at all. Good luck and happy cutting.

Remove the cap with the extra tips in it and set aside. This end of the pen will come off but it's pretty tight. I had some difficulty with it and actually found myself using my teeth to pull it out the first time. Once it's off, you can fill it with the acetone.

The tip is suppose to screw off...see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoFQQ1XW0M4.....

Just pull it with a small pliers. It should come out. It is just clipped not soldered

If you are asking if the tip can be removed, I checked today, and I don't think so. I didn't want to try to force it and break it, but the whole thing appears to be one piece not meant to come apart.

Your gonna have to use pipe pliers to get it off. Be sure to clean the gun thoroughly before using it. For whatever reason these monkeys put some sort of glue on the threads of everything and it sucks. Use lacquer thinner it's the only thing that worked for me I soaked the gun and ask the parts in it for a few hours and scribes the crap out of it. Works pretty good once cleaned properly
