You're welcome, I discovered first time while trying to disassemble a 35mm f/2 Nikon AFD, what a slippery ring to remove! Saludos.

Good tip. Will remember this trick.

One gets inventive when nothing else works!

Thanks, can you link that tool you used with the tape?

I always keep the other rings that fit inside the ring that I am using inside that ring so that it is stiffer and may have more contact area. (Just don't let any of the rubber touch the glass.) I also have three different sets of rings because sometimes the ring from one set will work better than the rings from the other sets.

Having different sets is a good idea. Thanks for the tip.
