Romeo 1 Screw Help

[Mastodon]

I am in the process of trying to restore my R1. Using a T6 screw driver, I am trying to unscrew the two top screws, but neither screw will turn counter clockwise at all. Really scared I will strip the screw if I turn too much. Anyone have any tips or advice? Is there somewhere I could send them to to be taken apart professionally?

Just cover the lenses & spray something like WD40 into the aperture, Leave it for a few hours & retry, Be Patient & Gentle.
There's a lot to be said for regular lens changes. The issue is caused by different metals (orbital & screw) causing oxidation. If do you strip them the X man can sort i gather....

I drill the head of the screw off, then it comes apart. There is plenty of the screw showing and you can get some big pliers on it and unscrew it.

How do I fix my tio2 t6, it apparently has some loose threading going and they can't seem to get back into place.
