The left side (in the picture) is where the screw was that held it in the camera. I had to break the threadlocker to get it out. The threadlocker is also on the right side where it was just on a post, which seems weird to me.

I just bought a "for parts" *ist D S as a donor camera to replace the failing solenoid on my K-S2. I took it apart and found one white solenoid for the flash lock, and one gray one for the aperture. I'm planning to use the white one in the transplant, both beacuse I figure the flash was used less than the aperture, and the listing for the source camera mentioned specifically that the aperture wasn't working. But I'm still wondering what this gray solenoid is.
I realize this isn't the K-S2 thread, but it is the most active solenoid discussion. Just for info, the failure started around 9300 actuations and 4 years.
