I guess you could put marks on the threaded part before disassembling it, under the assumption that the lens was assembled correctly at the factory (or the last time it was serviced). Otherwise, I guess you're going to need a collimator to set the focus. (You could do what I do--use a ground-glass screen in the back of the camera--but this is not a highly precise way to set focus.)

By the way, I ran across this page here that may be helpful: https://kyp.hauslendale.com/classics/collimator.html
