This is the adjustment cam for the horizontal rangefinder image. Go to Home Depot, buy a small flathead screwdriver that is S shaped and will fit inside the bayonet flange and reach the cam. The screwdriver will likely be too thick to fit into the screwhead. File or grind it down. Use screwdriver to turn the adjustment cam 1/16 of a turn to begin with. Put lens back on and check infinity focus on object 100 or so feet away. Repeat adjustment as necessary. If your rangefinder is really off, there will not be enough adjustment room in the cam.
