How to change the stylus on your AT95E cartridge
Remove the headshell from the turntable for easy installation.
Hold the Headshell at a vertical angle.
Grab the stylus body at the ridges on either side of the body.
Pull the stylus body away from the cartridge in one motion.
The stylus body should come off easily. The stylus body will not detach from the cartridge if you attempt to remove it up or down the cartridge.
Note the tab on the inside of the stylus body. When replacing the stylus, the tab should lock into the cavity on the cartridge.
CAUTION!
Do not leave the headshell resting on the stylus as a general rule.
Be careful not to touch the stylus. This can damage the alignment of the new stylus.
