replacing grease in Leica R 35 1.4?

Hello,

I have a Summilux-R 35 that's a bit dry and would like to try replace the lube in it. I've done this to a few Contax Zeiss lenses and have a bit of experience. But I've never opened an R lens and wonder if anyone can point me to a guide of some sort, preferably illustrated. (If it's too hard I'll send it in, but I'd prefer not to because of the extra hassle created by my location.)

Thank you!

Leica lens are different from contax lens by mechanism.

It is impossible to relube a Summilux 35. Send it to me and I will recycle it environmentally friendly.
I even pay for insured shipping.
