Mir-24M disassembly and servicing?

My next servicing project is a Mir-24M - it desperately needs the focusing helicoid(s) cleaning and re-lubricating.

Before I jump in blindly, I'm wondering if anyone else has experience of dismantling and servicing this particular model? I've found some web resources on the Mir-24H, but whilst the optical formula is the same, the lens looks physically rather different...

Thanks in advance! Smile

24M is M42, 24H is Nikon F IIRC.
Post some pics of the lens, so we know which one we're talking about.

That's correct, the 24H is Nikon F-mount, but this is the 24M in M42 mount. Here's my copy:

One more try to see if anyone has any experience of disassembly for the Mir-24M, please?

I'm about to start work on it, and if I can learn any hints, tips or cautions before I begin, I'd be extremely grateful!

Thanks in advance Smile
