do you have the right tool? Study the thread, you might turn the wrong direction instead.I am trying to disassembly and clean the lens
and I am stuck here at the rear lens element... the fungus is inside of the 2 rear lens

my question is can the side ring be screw out?
i have tried but is too tight... and i am using a lot of strength but it doesnt turn
google with your title and found many ver of nikkor 1.4. Maybe be specific when you google and you should get the right disassembly manual or youtube.
This one?

Yes finally separated them
now how do i separate front elements?
Have to wait for Clubsnap resident guru 'fatigue' to answer you, alternatively have to bring to Nikon Service Centre
My guess is that if the elements are glued together then unlikely worth it to separate them youself, as they need to be realigned properly after cleaning, if not the lens will be de-centered
now at reassembly back... and got stuck again
