Hi. I have a 6" F/8 Synta OTA that was damaged in shipping. Can't take off the cell from the front since the rim of the housing was banged in. This was going to be half of a binoscope. Anyone out there know how to take off the objective assembly from the main tube? Thanks.

The entire front lens assembly just threads
on and off the main OTA tube. Sometimes a
strap-wrench or some gripper gloves help to
get it started.
