My first problem. I hit the screw heads holding the lens mount on with a soldering Iron each for about 3 minutes. Two screws came out nice as pie. the other three are stuck hard. I've caused a little damage to two of them, but they still should work. I tried more heat for a longer time on one of them. No joy. I need a new plan. I'm hoping someone here has an idea.
