Running into some problems getting the aperture ring off.
It's one of the older 17 serial variants in Nikon F mount.
I did mange to get the bayonet off- it was fairly well adhered in there, and the aperture ring won't budge.
The lone video I've seen on line shows an m-42 mount version of the same lens coming apart quite easily in these areas.
I suspect some sticky soda type drink or similar got inside the lens from the rear some how.
I'm not sure how to proceed further with this. It took a bit of force to seperate the bayonet from the lens body.
On this version, the aperture click stop mechanism appears to be a detent ball and spring. The ring material is quite thin in this area, and I don't want to break anything.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
It would be nice to get the ring off to d&t it for an A/I conversion.
