I found the way in. The assembly is very typical. It is necessary to remove the front inner cone, the one that is like a lens shade on the inside of the front tube. This is the tricky part. It jams very easily. I found a large rubber stopper can slowly turn it and it does unscrew. Using other methods I typically use on such a large opening causes it to jam and not move. I tired quite a few methods, they all jam. The large rubber stopper is the one that worked.

At the time I was offered another lens at a crazy low price, so given my lack of time I took that path. I had forgotten about this lens until this reminder. I will try to look at it in the next while and comment here if I get a chance to open it.

Thank you both for the replies.
OSV: I have not opened the lens as yet. I have done a fair amount of camera and lens work in the past, but not on Pentax lenses.
Just1MoreDave: Yes I saw that on some other lenses the front simply unscrews, but no such luck for this one. I had hoped to avoid peeling up the focus ring as in the past I have had issues with rubber splitting or deforming so I am reluctant to peel it up.
These days I have little time for camera work due to family commitments, so I had hoped someone could give some steps to get into the lens and save me time. It looks like I will have to find the way myself. Hopefully in less than a month!

Thank you for the response OSV. Unfortunately that thread does not seem to cover the 67 lenses.

I have some haze on I am guessing the rear of the front lens section on a SMC Pentax 67 1:4 200mm (i.e. the lens closest to the diaphragm). Removal of the front section is not obvious. I could puzzle this out, but perhaps someone can tell me how to get this section off.
Thank you

Thank you for the suggestions. The tape did the trick. I have never had a lens element so hard to get out! My first try with the tape was not able to get the element out, but there was a "click" when I went to attach more tape, so that told me the element was moving. I then put some tape on and let it sit for 1/2 an hour to bond a bit better, and then used a loupe as I pulled to make sure it was completely level. I managed to get it out (but the tape was starting to peel up as I went).
Thank you once again.

I have a lens with a bit of fungus behind the rear element in a S-M-C Takumar 6x7 1:3.5/55. I would like to remove the rear element to deal with it. I have removed the retaining ring but the element does not budge. Can anyone provide some insight into how to get this element out?
Thank you!!
