Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm f1.4

Have a very nice copy of this lens and i need to clean a bit of fungus out of it just wondering if i get to the inside of the glass from the rear of the lens or from the front? Any help would be appreciated.

I figured it out, its from the front.Come to find out the fungus is in between the piece of glass.So i am going to have to live with it i guess

It must be one of the later MD 50mm F1.4 lenses is it?
(e.g. you unscrew the plastic front, then 3 screws to remove the front group?)

With the earlier MD 50mm F1.4 lenses, and all of the MC lenses, you could unscrew the all of the elements to get at each one to clean them. The later MD lenses seem to have each group glued/bonded instead of screwed.
