Hi,

I got an om zuiko 35-70mm f4 with some fungus between 3rd and 4th element from the front. since I disassembled some lenses before I tried this one as well to clean it. However, after removing name ring, first element, one other ring and second element, I got stuck on the third ring (see schematic picture). I just couldn't loosen it. Do you have any idea if: 1) there is something needed to be loosen before this third ring or 2) how to loosen stuck rings in general? The fungus is just right about to clean (rather big) but did not affected the glass so far. However, since I live in area with high humidity, this will get worse.

any help appreciated.
