Leica 35mm summaron f3.5 m-mount lens.
For some reason I can disassemble this very simple lens to get at the haze on the element closest to the rear side of the aperture. My dilemma is this: The rear has two rings, I take off the inner one and take out that element. I need to get at the other side of the next element, but it doesn't appear to come off. I try taking off the outer ring. It turns, but it opens and closes the aperture. I crank it a little harder and my focus is off. I bring it all back to specs and try to go through the front. The front ring turns slightly then stops. I noticed this also moved my aperture out of wack. I put it back to specs. There's one screw on the body and I can't figure out what it does.

Any answers, repair manuals, tricks? You can also email me at jordan@jordanstarrphotography.com.
