Zoom Lever Removal

I have three Canon KJ20 lenses and just acquired three MS-22 Studio Conversion Kits.

Instructions for installation note: “Before attaching the flexible focus module to the lens, remove the zoom lever.”

How do you remove the zoom lever as it doesn’t screw in/out?

"How do you remove the zoom lever as it doesn’t screw in/out?"

This statement indicates to me you do need to get professional help.

There ended up being loctite glue that was keep the lever attached. My phone call to the help line suggested using a pair of pliers to force it off. I don't know about you, but I don't automatically jump to: "let's force it off with some pliers" when it comes to expensive glass.
