Take the pliers and gently remove the end cap. It may take a little elbow grease, but don't break it. Inside you should see an ink cartridge inside. Remove it and place it aside.

First, take the ink cartridge and find the side the indentation on it. Drop it in that side first. Next, you should see four little dents when you put the ink cartridge in. Finally, put the end cap on with some force. Now you can go enjoy your new and non-skipping highlighter!
