Tito Ferradans Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 My Bolex arrived today, and it looks incredibly nice, but I'm having some trouble releasing (what I believe to be) the projection accessories in the back of the lens. They're attached to the rear threads, highlighted red on the picture below. I hope there's a smart solution, help! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBarlow Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Looks like a friction weld :) 1 OK, first remove the square section rod/sting using the retaining screw 2 Then have some penetrating oil ready on a dropper. WD40 will do 3 Next heat up the rear part near the knurled washer retaining nut using a hair dryer and then add a few drops of the oil and leave for an hour. 4 Try to remove the rear ring by hand force, wear leather gloves it helps. 5 If it is still stubborn repeat from 3 Julian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito Ferradans Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 After many attempts, I finally got it out using a mechanic squeezer (?). :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
