AT95e Green

Pretty basic question here. I have a one year old AT95e cartridge with the green stylus body. I am thinking it should be 100% removable, correct? I cannot seem to get it to release from the cartridge body. Are there any tricks to this,or is mine just not functioning properly. Any help or guidance is appreciated.

  Wow Ghost of OD55, thanks that's just what I needed! It's funny too, I usually go to YouTube for all my issues. Thanks a ton! It appears that the stylus snaps off more than slides off. That explains things.

    This type of work should always be done with the cartridge/headshell removed to avoid stressing the tonearm bearings and other parts.
  - It's kind of an "up and out." Tricky. - ghost of olddude55 11:31:00 12/03/24 (2)
    Similar to other AT styli.
    Sometimes I can get them to click in and out with no issues, other times getting the stylus back into the cart body, well let's just say I need all my swear words.

    - If I recall correctly, there's also a slight forward movement to release the stylus. nt - alaskahiatt 15:16:11 12/03/24 (1)

        I never had a problem removing the stylus but getting it back in again can be exasperating.
