Minolta MC Rokkor-PG 58mm f1.2 Lens Full Disassembly

Full disassembly and reassembly of a Minolta MC Rokkor-PG 58mm f1.2 lens. Lens is disassembled down to access aperture blades, mechanical parts, and body sections individually. Focusing lens back to infinity is also covered.
This lens is fairly difficult to disassemble because of the size of its glass and the unique design needed to accommodate the huge optical pieces. I was unable to find a good way to focus the lens back to infinity in a single, easy step (please let me know if you can find a better solution). Fortunately, this refocusing is only necessary if you detach the focus ring from the focusing mechanism.
Also see my Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 58mm f1.4 disassembly: • Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 5... and my Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 55mm f1.7 disassembly: • Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 5... to compare the design of this lens with some similar, classic Minolta lenses.
Complete time of disassembly and reassembly was about an hour.
