How to remove a super glued lens from a machine vision camera.

How to Remove a Super Glued Camera Lens - [Part 1]

  The lens and camera were a great price on eBay. $80 for a $300 lens and a $500 camera! It's too good to be true, right?  Well, there was one tiny little catch, the lens was super glued to the camera.

 This is a record of how I was able to remove the lens and the 5 mm c/cs ring from the camera. Repeatedly adding acetone to the end of the ring eventually dissolved enough super glue to free the ring from the camera.  It took about 20 minutes before the lens and ring would rotate freely. 

Consider this as Part 1. The ring was way way more difficult to remove from the lens. I'll make a part 2 covering that complication... subscribe to catch part 2
