You can also make a spanner out of copper tubing. Get a piece that matches the diameter of the ring, and trim it so that you have two nubs to fit into the slots of the ring. Drill a couple of holes in the other end so that you can insert a screwdriver for a torque handle. That way, you won't have to remove the front plate from the camera.

When you put it all back together, try to find some Super Lube at your local hardware store. It's a very good synthetic that won't migrate onto the aperture or shutter blades, and has a wide temperature operating range, so you can take your camera out in the desert, or on a glacier.
