Oops, nearly forgot this bit ...

"Does the whole front unscrew, but I would have thought that it would be difficult to have it stop exactly in the right place."

The second element just screws back firmly into the shutter body as far as it will go, then that bit is correct. It's the first element where you should re-enter the multi-thread helicoil at the same position as it emerged from the second element tube, if you marked the original position (e.g. Infinity) to return to and if you want the lens lettering to be in the original orientation. But in any case it's wise to check the focus on e.g. a piece of Scotch tape stuck across the film plane.
