KIEV 4 shutter ribbon repair

Hello, everyone Smile

I recently had a Kiev 4 snap a ribbon, so I disassembled it to the shutter part, removed every screw I could find (except for the long one at the top shutter, appears to be stuck),
Despite hours of trying to get it out, I still cant get it out.

I watched a youtube assembly guide (https://youtu.be/NK5azIftsEE?t=114) but I can't get out the long screw like they did - I can only freely rotate the screw 20 degrees or so.

Does anyone know how can I remove it?
If anyone who has experience opening this could provide guidance, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance, murbanrk.

Here I'm sending some photos of the shutter:

I once took apart a broken KIEV 60, and found quite a few screws that were stuck or stripped. (I had been the first owner, so that's how it came from the factory).

Also, quite a few chassis parts were made of very brittle pot-metal castings; some screw posts simply broke when trying to undo the screws.

So be careful; my KIEV 60 was early 90's manufacture I think, your KIEV 4 is a 50's camera and may be substantially better made, but it likely also isn't exactly German or Japanese quality engineering...
