M42 Mount Porst Color Reflex MC Auto 55mm F1.4 - Repair Help

I'm trying fervently but fruitlessly to find exploded disassembly charts for this lens from Porst because I want to take it apart and clean and lubricate it. I've done this with a few lenses so far including the Minoltas and it was very successful and I restored the lens. I want to refurbish this one because it's basically in bargain condition and I want to do a custom paint coating on the exterior barrel. I really need some help in trying to find a repair manual for Porst lenses in genera because I also have the Porst 55mm F1.2 lens as well so having a general repair guide would be GREAT! What I need most though is a disassembly chart.

Does anyone know where I can find this stuff!?!? This lens is so rare I cannot even find a Youtube video, etc! Question

Are you sure it's not the usual Tomioka 55/1.4 under one of the countless private labels? And, FWIW, I've never seen a vintage normal lens that would particularly hard to disassemble.
