How do I get at the two black 2 1/2" rail caps under the bellows. I found new replacements on ebay. There must be a way to do it without removing the belows

IF YOUR BELLOWS IS IN GOOD SHAPE>>ONLY<<
Lower the inf stops>>unlock and pull the
lensboard forward until it comes off the track! You will need a small swivel type
screwdriver(Radio Shack) It's still tight,
and unless your carefull you could damage
the bellows>>>Alternative<<< Remove bellows at the lensboard end only, its easier to
put back on!
In either case>>>I RECOMMEND that you treat
the bellows with NEATSFOOT OIL before
proceeding (shoe repair shops) Bert

Another quick note--on some models the inside
rails have set screws in them (for adjusting
height to match inner/outer) I suggest you
do not use them unless the rails are way out
of line! And in some models there is a left and a right--so take note when you remove the
old set! Put screws in safe place!!!!!!
