Well done Eddie!
Just two weeks too late for my IIe work but I guessed the right thread!
As our OP mentioned, these can be problematic to turn - even when the threads are in good condition.

Great post by Eddy Gunks ! Perhaps one of you can direct me on how to remove the inner tube so i can get access to the knucklers screws .They need tightening . Based on Eddy's video i was able to unscrew the front element .The whole front assembly comes off along with the black ring . The knuckler screws sit between the outer and inner barrel as seen in the picture .Any help would be appreciated . Probably Louis can help with that ! Thank's
There are two uncomplicated screws - I'll check old photos and perhaps even threads here.
Some kind of "loctite" woule be a good idea so it doesn't loosen up again in 60 years.
Thank's Steve ! I have the loctite ready ! I just need to figure out how to remove that inner barrel to access the knuckler screws .

I don't have a set of photos from my servicing.
So I have just taken it out and played with it. I can understand why there is no "documentation"!
When the lens hood assembly is taken off, the brass section just pulls off!
But mine is the last 2E model and is cleaner to look at than the two models shown by Eddie in his videos.
I have pulled this knuckler ring about a centimeter out to show the cut track which drives the lens forward.
Thank's Steve ! Mine is a series VI but i believe your information to valuable . I will examine mine to see if the outside tube comes off like yours. Thank's for taking the time to help .
I love an excuse to "play" with lenses!
Success Steve ! Based on your information i was able to completely disassemble the lens down to the aperture blades . I tightened the two screws and the lens is ready for another 60 or 70 years of use ! It works perfectly now !
Some shots , the last one is the lens reassembled :
