I have one I'd like to clean internally. Any tips on disassembling this lens?

I have a cleaning note for 1.8. The lens may be similar in mechanical construction. If you want it, give me your email, I will send it. It's too large for posting ( I just don't know how to shink the file).

It's pretty straight forward:

Start from the back, take the focus helical off (with a lens spanner).
Then you can take the rear element block out to get access to the aperture.

Well it LOOKED that easy but nothing ever is. That's where the dust appears to be too. Thanks!
