Hi everyone,
One of the locking levers of my sinar F2 is broken and I have the replacement part. It is very easy to access the screw that holds the lever in place but I cannot figure out how to unscrew the lever itself. It is linked to the one behind and when turning the screw they both move. If I try to unscrew one while holding the other one in place withe another screw driver I cannot accomplish anything apart from damaging the screws... But I don't even have the proper screwdriver which should be rather large (5 or 6 mm) but as flat as the 2,5mm ones. So I don't even know what they should be or if a special tool is needed for this.
I know a certain Whishgan here (https://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?116408-sinar-p-locking-lever-broken&highlight=sinar+locking+lever) has done it already but I don't know how to reach him. If anyone has experience with this I would be most grateful for your guidance.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Vania
