HELP! Anschutz adj. iris lock ring stuck on Altius extension

Post by HotDiggity »

Hi, all. I have an Anschutz 9775 adjustable iris stuck on an iris extension somehow. Which direction does the lock ring thread on? Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey? The manual is not exactly clear on the subject and it's been years since I installed it and I cannot remember.

Just got the 8002 S2 in black soft-touch wood in the office!

Indeed, righty tighty lefty loosey. Some thin wrenches can get behind the extension and help get a grip on things.

Thanks, Andre. I was able to get it with the help of some painters tape and a bench vise (and some finesse).
