Figure 4-51. Loosing shutter retaining nut with special tool no. 12459
Carefully lift the front end including the shutter away from the shutter cover assembly as shown in
figure 4-52. The rear end of the lens barrel is not normally disassembled. Information on
disassembly is included only to cover urgent replacement of rusted, worn or deformed parts.
Note: Do not unscrew the internal parts of the helicoid assembly. It is very difficult to
reengage the two pairs of left and right hand multi-lead threads within the helicoid
assembly (Figure 4-53).
Grip the outside of the rear lens assembly, (Key No. 6, Figure 4-52) and screw out of the rear of
the shutter. Screw the front lens assembly (Key No. 13) out of the front of the shutter. Clean and
store the lenses.
Note: When the aperture ring assembly is removed, the clock spring and steel ball
(Key No's. 10 and 11) may pop out. Be prepared to capture these parts. The
ball is located at the red mark on the index mark ring.
Use a thin blade screwdriver to loosen (not remove) three screws (Key No. 18). The plastic
aperture ring (Key No. 12) is flexible to allow it to slip off a retaining washer (Key No. 19). Grip the
aperture control knob (Key No. 17). Turn the aperture ring and it will slip off the index mark ring
assembly. Remove screw (Key No. 16) holding aperture control knob (Key No. 17) to shutter.
Remove the index mark ring by removing the three screws and washers (Key Nos 18 and 19).
Place the shutter with the front end facing up. Use two fingers to screw off a brass spanner nut
holding the speed mark ring (Figure 4-53). Lift off speed mark ring.
Note: Do not turn the shutter over. Parts will fall out.
Replace spanner nut into shutter. The speed mark ring is part of the shutter assembly. Place
