Any tips for disassembling a Ysarex 127mm f4.7 ? (light fungus removal)

I got a Polaroid 110A kit (for the Ysarex) and was disappointed to find it has a BIT of fungus and appears to be on an inner element (as seen from the front). I've never worked on a large format lens before, so wondered if anyone would share some tips. I've seen some say to remove the lens from the shutter (I'm assuming there is a front portion and a rear portion that come out separately... I may only need to worry about the front).

For those unfamiliar, here is a photo of a similar lens/shutter (not my image)


I'm not sure how it comes out, however. Does one start by unscrewing the black ring with the wording on it (using, for example, a appropriately sized hard rubber eraser, perhaps)?

Any words of wisdom will be appreciated.
