Hi, all-
I'm working on a Wollensak 159/9.5 lens right now. There's a ton of grime between the elements. On the front, I was able to remove the retaining ring, tap the housing ag'in my hand for a while, and the rear element popped out, allowing me to clean between the two. The rear is assembled identically:

However, the element that should pop free just barely moves.
How'm I to remove this rear glass? It's got to come out - there's too much scum between the elements to use the lens.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Scott
