Help Needed with Voigtlander Brillant Front Lens Cleaning

[LibraryTroll]

I would be very grateful if someone could instruct me as to the proper steps to access / remove the front lens element of the Voigtlander Brillant camera. I have already removed the rear element and cleaned thoroughly, but I'm afraid I have no information on how to proceed to do the same with the front. I would like to run a roll through this camera if I could just clean the dust, debris, and minor haze from the rear of the front lens.

I've attached a photo to show the version that I have.

Thanks,
Tre

When mounted in a standard leaf shutter, the front element usually just unscrews. If that's not working, you might pull off the trim ring and see if there is anything hidden under it that might be helpful.

Gripping the knurled black edge of the lens and turning it to the left (counterclockwise) the lens should unscrew. I have encountered lens that were stuck from age and very hard to break loose.
I have never seen screws in the trim ring like yous has, remove the trim ring to remove the front element of the front group.
