Good day everyone. My first post =)

My problem is about the disassembly of pentax super me. I removed the bottom cover and I just want to ask if i can safely remove the cocking mechanism because I need to lubricate the moving parts underneat it. https://kyp.hauslendale.com/classics/images/pentaxmewindlock2.jpg

The cocking mechanism from the photo here https://kyp.hauslendale.com/classics/images/pentaxmewindlock1.jpg was already removed. Anybody knows a step by step procedure on how to remove it?

thanks all!

Here is the service manual for the ME Super. Hope this helps. Fortunately, I haven't had to open mine up, yet!

Thanks for the links Leesobing. Yup, I'm trying to check that rubber on the shutter and I think it's impossible without removing the cocking mechanism. (0-C102 on the service manual)

got the answer to my question =)
according to this link http://www.mypentax.com/PentaxMeSuper.html

"Don't attempt removal of the guide, it is tricky, and unnecessarily."

Thanks everyone for the help.
