Rather than delete this thread, I figured I would comment on how I accessed the rest of the optics.

As I had initially figured the access was from the front of the lens (though I had given up on this and started removing everything from the rear of the camera). I also had assumed that it must be glued, since I had absolutely was unable to access it. In reality, it was not glued, just hard to access.

Using a vacuum pad (size 3) with some force, but not too much (and several days later), I was able to finally screw off the last retaining ring. I do not think it was glued, it was just hard for the vacuum pad to grab a hold of.

So, for those that want to clean the optics of a Sigma mini-wide lens, access is completely from the front.

I hope this helps someone else!
