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.
