problems fixing pentax me super

Paul Ziz · Aug 30, 2019

Hi,

I'm trying to remove the top of my pentax me super, but I'm stuck removing the rewind knob. I removed the first part but been struggling with the retaining nut. I searched every possible forum and even went through old archived websites, no videos, no images no nothing. I'm trying to turn it counter clockwise with every tool I have and all of my strength, but it just doesn't move at all. Please maybe somebody has a tip or trick how to do it

Here is a tutorial on disassembling the ME Super:

I've seen this tutorial, but it does not say how to remove that part. It just says that "it's conveniently threaded".

It's a left handed screw. It goes clockwise, not counter clockwise.

It may be sealed with threadlocker. Dissolve the threadlocker with Acetone, acetone based nail polish remover will work also.
