Repairing a Vivitar Series 1 28-90mm 2.8-3.5

I bought this as a repair object. Seller said it was a little "wiggly".... Well Wink Glas seems ok and most parts seems to be there but not much is actually working. This is the Nikon version. I was planning to try to repair it and maybe at least turn it into a Pentax version or what ever I can manage.

I have read about a repair and service manual for this lense.
If anyone has a digital version of that or any other insight on how to best take this apart I would love that. ( I have tried to open and remove the mount but that was not like any other lens I have taken apart so I gave that up for now)

Thanx for replying.
Very hard to tell if it is similar.

The main problem now is to remove the mount.
The aparture isnt working at all and the entire mount is partially loose but with no apparent way to remove it.

Maybe I have to go further then I already have?

3 quick shots of it as it is right now.
