Thomosy's Leica Camera Repair Handbook covers the Summitar, but not the collapsible Summicron. But they should be pretty similar.

Trick is, you really need to check the collimation of any Leica RF lens when you're done with working on it.

That said, what probably needs the clean and lube is the focusing mount, which is pretty much identical between Summitar and Summicron. Leave the lens capsule shut unless there's a problem in there, easy to leave it dirtier than you started.

Your local public library should be able to get you a copy of the Tomosy book, if via inter-library loan.
