Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM disassembly and replacing the aperture flex cable

This is a video about disassembling the Canon 24-70mm f2.8 USM lens to access the aperture cable. I had this Canon 24-70mm lens which had problems with the aperture. The aperture did not work, and it was caused by a faulty flex cable. So I had to disassemble the lens, replace the flex cable with a new one, then assemble the lens. In this video I'll show you how to disassemble the lens to get access to the aperture unit flex cable.
