I thought that was all one piece. I didn't know the focusing helical everyone was speaking of was farther up front still seized. I have located it and heated it up with a hair dryer as I have read here that seems to provide more success than soaking. I was able to free the focus helical, clean it, put it back together, and collimated the lens. Wow what a difference. Now I can see the focus making a difference. Thank you so much!!.
