Sonnar 3.5/135 how to take out front glass?

[mmmCCC]

Hi, I have Sonnar 3.5/135 lens. Behind front glass element are some fungus. How can I take out that front glass for cleaning?
Firs I screw out ring with letters, second I screw out ring that hold front glass. Then I turn lens but front glass do not come out.
Is it glued there or something? Please help.

Tap the lens on the rear side, so it falls off, be careful.

It may be in tight, use a vinyl suction cup. My favorite is from a toy "sun catcher" that goes on the inside of a window. If it is really tough, use some lens cleaner on the glass then put the suction cup on it. Tapping - be very careful, I had a front element break after coming out. Do not pry at the corners, that will break the glass.
