Adjusting RF sensor in a Zorki 4 - novice question

[julio1fer]

I have this Zorki 4 that I want to use more.



The RF in this camera was way off. After searching I found this page besides the stickys posted in this forum.

The infinity adjustment went all right, but I have difficulties rotating the cam sensor (in that page it is near the bottom of the page) to adjust the 1 m minimum distance focus . This cam is very stiff in my camera. Should I just apply force, or is there some screw to be loosened before rotating the cam?

Thanks for any comments.

I usually use a small open end wrench to turn it with. I find it much easier to move incrementally without overdoing it.

Many thanks for the answers. Will try appropiate force and tools and comment afterwards. This forum is a great resource for us novices!
