Very interesting, my hubby, retired Machinist/Mechanic helped me disassemble and clean an old lens. I could not find a tutorial for it at all. It's back together, lenses are clean, and it still functions!

Congrats! What lens was it?

Ask a watchsmith.

The first process needs a special tool.

There is a watch/clock repair guy not far from me, I was wondering if he knew about where to acquire tools.
I did have my husband's nice calipers to use.

iPhone photos of most of it. Lol, in order of disassembly. First I researched as many tutorials as possible.
