How to remove fungus In AF-s Nikkor 55-300mm 1:4.5-5.6 G ED VR DX PART 1

In this first video of 3 parts I will show you how it's possible to remove fungus In AF-s Nikkor 55-300mm 1:4.5-5.6 G ED VR DX.
I will fully disassemble the lens and cleaning as much as possible of the lens elements, that was infected by Fungus.
I don't have the repair manual and I could not find anywhere. When working with this lens it's very important to set many small marks during the disassemble process, because it's the only "backup" when assemble the lens again, it's also important to take a lot of pictures that can also help in the assemble process.
------------------- TAKE GOOD CARE of the FLEX CABLES! --------------

    Your attention to detail is mesmerizing. Nikon should pay you a ton for making them a training video. To be honest, this makes me a bit nervous to watch. I feel like I'm watching a movie with a bomb expert defusing a bomb that is about to go off any second!

    Great video! So informative - I have a few lenses that need cleaning, my pharmacy only had 6% hydrogen peroxide do you think that it’s good to use on the lenses? Thanks!

    Complicated and somewhat delicate. Thank you for making this video. If I ever get a free or very inexpensive lens I might try it.
