I've tried plain torque, hammering; tried to heat the ring. No way. I can make the whole thing rotate and feel what are probably a couple of gears that "jump the theets" (sorry don't know how to explain in english... I hope you can imagine what I mean). I could get to the take-up shaft from the bottom (image) but this doesn't help: blocking the shaft actually doesn't avoid the stress on the gears inside. Here's what I found as the possible interiors (this is from a Zenit E, probably not much different from the 3M): actually the take-up axes rotates in the opposed direction.
