I have the service manual in PDF for the A2 , they share the same body and most of the internals .

Just a different sensor and shutter unit .

You should find enough information in their to enable you to dismantle it for repair work .

Glued without dismantling it is likely to bond everything together if not careful .

Is it just the centre post that needs to turn ?

It seems so. It is loose.

What's the underside of the dial look like ?

What looks like it might be a screwdriver hole at 9 o'clock is just a dimple!

P.M me you email and I'll forward a copy onto you .

Many thanks! I have PMd you.
