Question,
How difficult is it to clean the oil off of the blades on the Helios 44-4. Any suggestions??
Perhaps the question should be, how to put the lens back together correctly Laughing

Bob, I've never seen any instructions about dismantling a 44-M4, maybe because they're so cheap and plentiful and it isn't worth it. I've put some instructions on dismantling and cleaning a 44-2 (the preset type) which might be helpful for you. It looks quite simple. Download here
