Hi!

I recently bought an old C220 with two lenses - the 65mm f/3.5 and the 180mm f/4.5.
Both are in need of a cleaning operation, the 65mm more so.

I can easily unscrew the front and rear group assemblies, but what I need is to disassemble the front group itself, to reach the inside of the frontal element.
So far no luck - the inner ring (#1) has no cutouts to fit the spanner to unscrew, and seems to narrow for a friction unscrewing with a rubber stopper.
On the outside there is a line (#2) that suggests that it could be unscrewed on the outside, but I've tried it and no luck.

Here is a picture, in case my english isn't very clear (forgive that):
Here is the image link, I've also attached it:

Any ideas? Thank you very much!
