Replacement Ferrules
Bring your favourite pen back to life! These are standard nib holders that fit most dip pens, specifically pens with a 6mm hole in the shaft.
Check out all the photographs to see how simple it is to swap out.
Basically, yank it out like a rotten tooth and stick in a new one. You might find that it is a bit loose, so stretch out the gap with a pencil and try again. Keep working on it, maybe a touch of glue, eventfully it will stay in when you pull out the nib.
While your here

Before Use
Remember new nibs need cleaned/degreased. You will find people giving advice to use soap, spit, flame, acetone, or potatoes. All of these methods work. However high temps are used to manufacture nibs, so flame will likely reduce its life span. There are better uses for a potato.
You want the ink to adhere like paint to the nib; if it beads up like water on glass, then it needs degreasing. Generally a quick inky rub does the job.
