Glenn is convincing. I'm going to try his idea.

He's also right about the practicality of making your own tools. I have a spanner wrench, but the tips I have are only good for some (only some) lens disassembly. For your problem, I'd make a tool. Having looked at my C35, I think I'd grind an old screwdriver to a couple points, exactly the distance apart and prong size necessary for this job. I buy old screwdrivers at the local thrift stores for next to nothing and keep a supply in the shop for just this kind of thing. Do you have a Dremel (or generic)?
