John H. advised:
You could also try lighter fluid around the front group. Some 1.8s
don't
even have spanner notches. You might able to loosen it up by lightly
tapping around the outside circumference of the barrel with a small
wooden
mallet. Don't hit too hard.

Thanks, John and Gary. I may give it another shot with lighter fluid
and/or alcohol. This 50mm has tapered holes for a pin-type spanner
wrench. Better than none but more prone to slippage than a slot. I
guess I could get out the mallet but afraid of what I might be tempted
to do with it if the first light taps do not succeed. :-)
