That pin is conical, as you rightly say, and from your photo I would say the thinner end is facing towards the shutter center. Sometimes it can either be carefully hammered out using a very light watchmaker's hammer and a metal tube, a screw-nut or sth similar as a supporting counterfort or pressed out with long-nose pliers. In any case you have to be awfully careful not to bend the shaft.
But before you proceed, why the heck do you want to knock it down any further? Cleaning the shutter blades and the aperture blades from both sides is easy now, as the shutter can be cocked and released in that state, preferably on "B" which is default with no shutter cam plate installed and as long as the release lever kept in fully pushed position by means of a stretch of thin florist's wire.
Describe the problem you want to solve, maybe there is an alternative solution than the one you have in mind. I assume you are still tinkering on that same Lynx you were working on not so very long ago, so why are you creating a new thread every time? |
