Well, even with your explanation I don't see how to remove blades in the situation below. I remove the three screws but after...

If someone has a clue because I would like to keep this good lens.

Thanks,
Pierre.

Who allows scary posts like this in here.

Hats off to all you guys, who attempt this kind of work. I have fingers the size of bananas and after reading this post I know why I let professionals do this kinda stuff for me, if and when required.

In this picture, you can see the aperture actuator lever at the top of the lens. Right next to that lever, you should be able to press on the housing with a flat screwdriver and it should pop right out.

You can see in this one how the screws are still in place:

And with the screws removed, and the aperture assembly taken out:

Thank you for your answer and your pics.

I'm currently in holidays I will try later on and I will let you know.

Sorry but I think I have no the same lens (compared to the photo) so it's difficult for me to find how to access blades. To help, here are two pictures of the front and the back of the lens.

Thanks in advance.

Pierre.
