Anyone ever taken one of these apart?

This is the first version (non-pancake) in LTM. The focusing on mine is slightly too stiff. I was able to remove the mount and the first helical easily - it’s just unscrewing a few screws. After that, however, I’m stumped. How does one remove the focus ring and access the other helical?

Hope one of you can help me solve the puzzle!
 
Thanks, Ko. But it looks like the design changed considerably between the C and P editions. Nothing in the link looks similar to my lens.
 
Did you ever have much luck with disassembling the color skopar?
I have the same copy you were talking about and the aperture ring is quite stiff.
