So my friend did this with his grandpa's old Canon lens, right? He used that lighter fluid trick and the whole click mechanism just gave up. Turns out the fluid got behind the ring and washed out this tiny bit of sticky grease that was holding a little spring in place. He spent an hour with a toothpick trying to get the spring back in its hole (it was a nightmare). Ended up using a super thick synthetic grease for bike parts to stick it back in, and now the ring works but feels kind of mushy.

Yeah, always check the verified badge on the account first. Those deepfake ads are getting way too good now.

Okay, "get mean with it" is the real key here. I tried that once and my own game shelf fought back. I took everything out to start over and the pile on the floor just stared at me, judging my life choices. I had to bribe myself with pizza to even finish. That cabinet is holding your collection hostage and it knows it.
