Is there some secret to removing bellows? I have to get at screws on the track guide.

I've found user manuals in a couple of places online, but have had no luck locating repair manuals. I've noticed repair manual for auction but does anyone know if these might be posted somewhere?

Scott, remove the lensboard with lens, remove the 6 screws holding the back on (either graflok, or spring back. The four screws that you see holding the locks for the lens board also hold the bellows. There will be 4 threaded collets on the back of the front standard that these 4 screws thread into. Hold them with your finger while removing the screws, washers etc. Remember where the washers go, and do not loose the collets. To remove the back of the bellows, unclinch the tin enough for the bellows to come free. Do not glue the bellows on the back when reinstall, rather clinch the tin back like it was. Russ
