Leica Hood repair

Sorry but I can't tell from the photo. Are the finger actuated button tabs pushed in and won't pop-back/retract?

Or are these missing? - Odd if they're missing; since they can only enter from the inside of the ring, this means someone took them apart.

 

If you want to take inventory of what's going on inside of them, twist the front part and the back in opposite directions counterclockwise, then they'll unscrew apart. The casting is then extracted revealing the spring mechanism (Stuff will be loose, but this is how I clean and lubricate them).

BTW: Rubber wrenches may be required if they've sustained an impact or never been taken apart.

Thank you for getting back

On the larger one, (12586) I managed to separate it and the silver buttons had just slipped round within the housing, I managed to re-seat them and put back it together, so that's fixed. the smaller one looks like the silver buttons may be missing though I can't get it apart yet to check. the one in the middle is working fine though the thread on the hood section need some attention as is very course.

 

thanks
