I have a Minolta Hi-Matic 7s where the focus is very stiff. Naturally I want to give it a clean but can't figure out how to unscrew the helicoid to clean and regrease.

I've taken off the lens board and unscrewed the rear lens group but where do I go from here? There are plenty of posts in the archives about which grease to use but not much info on actually unscrewing the thing.

Hope someone cane help. Thanks.
