Vivitar 55mm macro disassembly?

So I just got this Vivitar 55mm f/2.8 macro from Ebay. It's quite beaten up, and focusing ring is gritty. I want to open up and clean. Wonder if anyone here has done that for this particular lens? Thanks!

Did you ever get this lens fixed? I have one that is floppy (lens barrel & aperture ring) and a bit grimy inside but I really like the handling & pics. I can't find any info on refurbishing on the net. Randy
