At this stage we had so much grease all over our hands and getting everywhere that it was decided to skip the photos and concentrate a little more on cleaning the parts first and then take the pix later.
Lenses are not old farm machinery that need grease covering all parts from the top to the bottom.
The thread shown here only needs a small amount of lube to work smoothly.
If its oozing - its WAYYYY too much !

When putting it all back together a little grease will move all over the thread and will be enough to do the job.


This picture shows the back end view of the Arsat 250mm

So thats the last picture we have of the disassembly.

The following ones were taken after all parts were cleaned up and the lens was actually being put back together but I have presented them in a disassembling order.
Keep this in mind when looking at the next pictures as these ones show the ¨minimum¨ level of cleanliness that should be aimed for when working on lenses.

If only K####amera had such high standards ..... !
