Stylus repair help needed

Drewdown, no I have not attempted this upgrade yet. Mine sounds decent as it stands. Someday I will attempt a Shibata, yes. The transplant of the new stylus would take a steady hand. but it does not appear to be more difficult than replacing any other MM/MI stylus.

If your stylus is bent or MIA there is no additional damage to be done there. However, with a Clearaudio V Wood currently having a $1k list price you may be right in thinking chicken on it and leaving the details to Axel. Pressure fited nude line stylus in a tapered aluminum cantilever should result in a "better than stock" CA V-Wood.

Are there still pics available as was stated above?

Well, I gave it a shot and was successful! It sounds fantastic! The only question I have is if you can now remove the case around the stylus? I plays with it on obviously, just not sure if you can snap it out of now that it has been installed?! Thanks so much for the heads up!! Great fix! I did get the HE not the shibata.
Cheers,
Drewdown
