  Bill - Fellow LHSA member Roger Pelham designed the flared tool that
 most people use now, as it sells for around $25 & made of aluminum.
  I have always used the phenolic* $8.00 ones available from Fargo Enter-
 prises.  Curt Fargo take over from National Camera and has a full line of
 repair instruments.  He also has a web-site on-line catalog.

has
 a combination wrench for removing the eyepiece and the trim ring around the
 shutter release/advance lever.  Unfortunately, the tool is very expensive and
 as far as I know, only available from Leica.  Find a leica repairman with the
 tool, and he can do the job in less than 5 minutes.  The part costs approx.
 $70-$80.
