how to remove advance lever?

[Rotisserie Chicken Lava]

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum category.

I'm currently working on my Uniflex 2 and was able to fix my sticky shutter. Anyhow I'm trying to remove the side panel but I'm having issue removing the film advance lever or wheel, whatever you want to call it. Check out the pictures I have below.

Any help will be appreciated.

I don't know that camera but I suspect removal starts on the outside of the camera. The knob you turn to advance the film will have a screw in the centre which might be covered by a thin plate - it is certainly so on all my cameras. Removing this screw will allow the knob to be removed and hopefully reveal the fixing for the internal part you show in your photos.

Yeah, I agree with John ... typically the knobs on a TLR are extracted from the outside.
I suspect that the opening is threaded ... or it is a circular nut that you need a flexiclamp to unscrew.

Yep, looks likes you gotta come in from the top.

There's a picture of a Uniflex II that shows the film advance knob. There isn't a screw in the middle of it. It appears to be press-fitted to the shaft. It appears in "Rotisserie's photo, that the knob comes out by pressing up on it. There appear to be cuts in the small inner knob, which use friction to hold the outer knob in place. I would guess that the shaft is held in by a screw, but you'll need to remove the outer knob by pulling it out.
