Kahles H 4/60 Disassembly

I acquired a Kahles H 4/60 at a very nominal price. It basically just needs the old mounts removed and general cleaning. I have done that with several zf39 scopes with success and I want to attempt it myself.
I am looking for some information for disassembling the scope and have not had success searching the internet. Any suggestions?

Beware the Kahles center section is made of zinc. Well, the one I took apart was made of zinc and when I pushed it out with a wood rod it had many black lines which were cracks. I hardly touched this section and it started falling apart like old clay. Basically, after that, it became a parts scope on ebay.

I'm not sure with this section is named, but unless you have another one handy, I'd really think twice about taking a kahles apart. In simple terms, due to this zinc part, Kahles, in my view, do not age well

I would tend to agree..I had one that did not last a 100 rounds and the reticle was suddenly detached and flopping around.
 
Thanks for the information but it really doesn't make to much difference now. Yesterday it did a high dive off a shelf, hit my vise on the way down before the last stop on the cement floor. It is now resting in the misc. parts box. :facepalm:
