Again, I don't think there are any screws that need to be removed in order to get all of the front lens elements out. It looks to me like you have removed the largest elements from the lens brass casing, but that the casing is still in the shutter. I think you need to unscrew that whole casing. It's got two notches, right? That means it is supposed to be unscrewed. Or grip it with a rubber glove and twist it out. I think that last lens element you see is held in by a 2-notch threaded ring, from the other side.

Then you can clean at least one side of the blades, but be conservative with the solvent, so that it does not drip or run onto the rear lens, because it will be difficult to clean it properly through the shutter blades.
