What you need is basically just a pair of thin pliers or a blunt blade of some kind. The process is as follows: 1. Remove the skin. 2. Take out the nail that holds the jingle. 3. Align all pieces of the new pair of jingle in your hand so that you see through the hole in the middle. 4. Place them in the slot and check that there is 1‐1,5 mm of space between the jingle and the rim, before you insert the nail. 5. If there is adequate space for the jingle to move, push in the nail. 6. Make sure the nail is not sticking up, push it in until it is flush with the rim. 7. Put back the skin. about 1 mm range for the jingle to move Troubleshooting Despite being a simple process there are some obstacles you might encounter. Here is a list of a few of them along with a possible solution. 1. There is no room to grip the nail. File down your pliers until they are thin enough or get smaller pliers. We use pliers that thin down towards the point. You can also try to wedge a thin, blunt kitchen knife in between the jingle and the rim and while pressing on the nail, try to move it upwards little by little. Or you can take a pointy knife and try to lift the nail from above. 2. The nail doesn‘t move. It might be glued or just stuck. Saw it off above the jingle with a hacksaw blade. Remove as many parts of the jingle as possible and pull out the lower part of the nail. You can get out the upper part either by tapping it with another nail from above or pushing it out from below, depending on whether it has a head or not. Be careful not to damage the rim. Replace the old nail with a new nail of the same lenght and diameter. 3. The nails are heavily worn out. Replace them with new ones of the same lenght and diameter. You can cut off the heads of the nails and file them smooth. 4. The nails are bent. Replace them with new ones of the same lenght and diameter. If the nails are a bit too loose you can drop some candle wax on top of the rim where the nail shows in order to secure it in place. 5. The jingles don‘t fit into the slot. Send them back to us and measure the slot again more accurately. We will supply you with the right sized jingles. 6. The jingles have too much space to move. You can either send them back or insert something like paper, plastic or rubber between the jingles and the rim to make the fit tighter. use thin pliers to push the nail out ...use a thin, blunt kitchen knife if the pliers are too thick If nothing works, you can take a blade from a hacksaw and saw through the nail, above the jingle. ...or use a pointy kitchen knife to lever the nail out
