I assume you found out that the front assembly with the focusing threads is a six-thread helicoid? There are six ways to reassemble it and five of them are wrong. Ask me how I know! ;-) Good work! I did the same repair on an F 70-210 a few years ago. Apparently that screw in the zoom assembly is the weak link with this lens. I also damaged the information brush in disassembly, but I just bought a totally trashed F 28-80 on eBay for $10.00 and stole the brush from that. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
