I've received an Enna 400mm lens with a frozen focussing ring. It won't move at all (stuck at infinity).

No sign of any damage (knocks), corrosion or anything else.

I've taken it apart as much as possible, but to access the helicles I'd need to move the focussing ring...

I've also used solvents and even warmed it in the oven, with no loosening.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
