Removing lens elements from shutter

[Ulophot]

Apologies for the confusion -- mine. My Komura is indeed mounted in a garden-variety Copal #1; nothing exotic or rare.
Thanks again to all.

If you remove the cells, carefully protect the shutter.

The diaphragm blades and shutter blades are quite delicate.
If anything hard hits them, they'll likely be bent and damaged to the point that they must be replaced.

Open the diaphragm fully, and open the shutter using the preview lever. Cover the front and rear openings of the lens with rigid plastic or similar material to keep junque from hitting the blades.

I have one lens that I want to remove from a Compur 1 shutter. I had no problem with rear element, but I can´t remove front element. I´m in a hurry and can´t send the lens to a repair facility. (The nearest is 135 miles away). Do you gentlemen know any trick I can use?. Thank you.
