    Seperating lens elements for cleaning

    I picked up a couple of vintage Voigtlander Avus 9x12 cameras with Skopar lenses.
    One lens appears to have some fungus between the front two elements and the other looks like it is a little fogged.
    I don't see any slots for a spanner to seperate the lenses. Anyone know how to seperate these kinds of lenses?

    Thanks
    Chris

    Could be friction, get a rubber tool, like a cork or drain plug.
