Hi. I'm on board for a long time. Today I got a Helios 40 1.5.
Unfortunately the focus ring works very hard. I decided to clean and lubricate. But I can not get fully into the mechanism.
Below is a photo of a bare element.



Twisted 3 very small screws (orange arrows) placed in the ring.
I do not know how well I mark the direction (green arrows), unscrewing the black ring from the silver sleeve.[/img]
