I have a Olympus 35RD with fungus between the lenses of the front element. Is there a way to disassemble the front element to clean the inner surfaces?

Thanks in advacne,

Dirk

To answer my own question - it is possible, but it takes some force to remove the retaining ring that holds the outer lens.
