Cleaning Flektogon 65mm focusing threads

Any idea as to how to get to the threads and what grease to use? The lens is
in really great shape, but the focusing is very stiff. If I heat the lens a little bit with a hairdryer it becomes much smoother, but as it cools it becomes tight again.

I don't want to damage the lens by disassembling the wrong way, if anyone has experience with CLA of this lens please help.

Thanks!

rare lens I don't think so you will get answer I just hope, in generally all old DDR lens pretty much same how you can disassemble and assembly, I suggest to take a very cheap and common zebra tessar and get practice before doing anything.

The Flek 65 is not often found, and I think it is a fine lens to boot. Be careful with it, of course!
