Done the desoldering and pulled the front etc. The shutter blade assembly is now separate from the aperture assembly but the only thing that is stopping me from flood-cleaning the gummed up aperture blades is the presence of the rear lens cell. I noticed the wide spaced notches on the rear cell but was worried about using a lens spanner in case it wasn't designed to unscrew. I'll have a go at unscrewing this cell using an improvised tool, the conventional lens spanners seem designed to slip.
