Sometimes lubricant from the helicoid migrates onto the levers in the
lens mount. The levers should be dry (ie. no lubricant) so just flush
out the lens mount with whatever degreaser you have on hand. Methanol,
alcohol, or lighter fluid works well. Once cleaned and dry, check that
they move freely and then re-assemble.
