Now to the hardware store to get some heat shrink!
Thank you.
You're welcome....just be sure to get a high quality heat shrink that will not degrade in petroleum products. The first heat shrink I used (black type) softened after a few hours in the silicone that I use to lubricate the threads. Use the clear plastic type shrink. Secondly, be sure to mark the orientation of the lens as you disassemble it or you will have a long trial and error process reassembling the unit. You'll find that the rear element either will not seat correctly when at infinity focus or the rear element will be too far extended not allowing infinity focus to be obtained. Marking the lens barrels/sleeves is crucial when repairing any lens.
Glad I could help! Good luck!
