No, I did not tear it down that far. I did not touch the aperture blades (other than to soak the mechanism with solvent to clean them, and work the post to exercise the U-shaped piece shown in the picture). I left the aperture assembly in the lens housing. I just removed the optics and the rear portion, as mentioned -- I left the aperture ring on the lens assembly.

Soooooooooo....someone else might have been in there earlier and screwed things up.

OR....you have to change the orientation of the rings by a combination of rotating one in one direction and the other in the other direction.

Yes, I'm thinking about whether that's possible.

Any luck on this Nick?

Haven't returned to it just yet. May be a few days before I have some time. Thanks for asking!
