Hello there,
While trying to unscrew an broken filter of the lens, i used too much force and the whole lens element came loose. The shutter didn't work and the aperture blades were(and still are) open to the aperture i set on the aperture ring. I opened the film door and saw that the outermost ring was loose and moved when i turned the lens, so i unscrewed the ring until the lens element came off. The only thing that keeps it from detaching completely from the camera body is a few small wires.
Can somebody provide some instructions to assembly it back? This is my first day having this camera and it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum,
Screw the ring back and you should be able to secure the lens barrel. The ring is left hand thread and you need to turn counter clockwise to tighten.
