Placing feed into section

Hi, all. What's the best tool to use when pushing a nib/feed assembly
back into the section? I'm working on Skylines, but a general
suggestion is welcome, too. Section pliers look like they'd work. Any
advice?

kg's method is okay. If you want some more grip, cut a piece from a
bicycle tube and wrap it around the nib/feed ass'bly. These rubber
pieces I found very helpful in many ways concerning pen restoration. You
can use them for a better grip when pulling a section from a barrel and
such.

Perry,
I use only my fingers - grasping the nib and feed between thumb and
forefinger in such a manner that if it slips, it doesn't impale my finger.
I've replaced the nib and feed on more than a few Skylines with this method
without fail.

I've heard of people using special flat jawed or plastic jawed pliers, but I
think I have a better sense of "feel" using my hands.
