    At this point I may have to take your advice rodeo joe. I've got more time sunk into this than I care to admit so it may serve someone else better as a parts lens. I appreciate the help from you both.

    The numbers are printed on the same ring as the rubber grip and it spins freely on the silver barrel. There is a very small amount of play between the two pieces if you push them front or back. Here's a picture of the back side. You can actually see the screw under the grip to the bottom right. The piece that threads onto the back of this has a lip that catches that screw and stops the gauge at the near/far markings. Also, thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it.

    Thanks for the info. There was one small screw under the grip but it's the one that stops it from rotating past the end points. Unfortunately I didn't read about marking the helicoid so I've been dreading that aspect of the reassembly as well.

    That's pretty close but I think I've got an older version. Here's the lens I'm working on. With the front element removed there are 6 screws visible. 3 of which attach the flared out metal housing for the element, the other 3 hold the aperture assembly into the barrel. I've got it broken all the way down to just the outer barrel and the outside black ring spins freely on the inner silver ring but isn't threaded and won't detach. I'm assuming that these should not move separately and maybe the outer ring was glued to the inner and I broke that seal in my taking the lens apart. Hopefully not the case but I can't see any other way to fix the focus ring to that inner ring.

    No holes or screws on the focus ring. The only evidence of glue is on the outer element and it seemed to be a small dab to hold it in place. I had to break it to unscrew the element.

    I recently disassembled my 45mm to fully clean the aperture blades as they had oil on them and wouldn't consistently open or close. I couldn't find any definitive guides to do this so I just had to figure it out along the way. After getting it clean and put back together the focus ring is no longer locked with the outer element so it just spins freely. It still stops at the designated ranges but only adjust focus if you squeeze it with a lot of pressure. As far as I can tell there are no screws that hold it into place so I'm wondering if it was attached with glue or some other method. I'd love to use it again now that the blades are finally clean so I'm hoping I haven't done any irreversible damage. Any help getting the focus ring locked again would be greatly appreciated.
