I did a folding Contina as the first one that actually survived my efforts, so it can be done.

The lens unscrews from the front, while the Prontor shutter is covered here:

I bought a set of Wiha Picodrive screwdrivers, which were well worth the cost. The awkward bit was unscrewing the lens retaining ring - I made a bodge tool which I'm not sure I should describe here, if you can get hold of a proper lens spanner then do it.
