Sorry for the bump of an old thread, I'm also surprised there was no reply, and an interesting problem, and a lesson, don't force lenses.
I learnt the same lesson with my Minolta 50/1.8 LTM.
Looks like someone who has never used a Canon FL/FD camera/lens has tried to force the lens off by twisting hard on the focus ring.
Looks like at least 4 parts are bent, should be fixable.
questions
1. So should they be 90 degrees straight? I can bend the parts correctly but have to be sure.
Yes, they should all be strait.
2. how do the front and back part connect? there is (mangled) thread. Just screw?
They should screw together, this can happen at 6-9 or more orientations, once threaded part way on, the posts must align and then the focus ring must turn to bring the optics toward the infinity position, start the threads wrong and infinity will not happen where you want it to be at, so you must try again the next thread over.
3. there are two couplings. Which belong to which?
The round post should line up with a hole in the mount/aperture section.
4. I couldn't find any good reference material at the internet. Did I miss it?
There are sources out there, it's just a bit tricky to find the right search terms. _________________ A Manual Focus Junky...
