First, Does anyone have a link to a service manual for this camera ?
I'm trying to remove the top cover from an ST801. Fortunately the screws came right out, but the film rewind lever is really stuck. I used an old film spool with a small hole drilled through it to hold the inner part of the shaft, but just cant seem to budge that. I assume its normal threaded ? not reverse. Any hints or tips would be appreciated. |

I don't have any notes on the Fuji. Usually, the rewind knob is a regular RH thread... I block the fork with a screwdriver blade and flip out the crank and unscrew the knob with that. Check first though to make sure there aren't any set screws inside the knob. |

I've removed several Olympus OM top covers, and never had any problems getting the rewind lever
loose. This Fujica is giving me a fit.
Looking at this rewind lever, I'm not convinced its screwed on. It looks like the round knob might be press fit onto the shaft because I can see what appears to be the end of the shaft protruding from the top center of the rewind knob. I have everything loose except for this lever. |

I was finally able to get the top cover off thanks to info sent from another forum member. The rewind knob was extremely tight, used several applications of wd-40, and then a soldering iron to heat the screw, and it came right off :-) |
