Until this point, this is a reasonable "maintenance teardown". And you can do most mirror and lens cleaning and grease replace.

Putting them back from the point/angle you marked in previous step, the focus scale does not need a calibration.

I am looking for more understanding of this breakdown. I have questions about the fragility of the components and how to clean the interior of the front glass of mold spores. Additionally i would love to understand how to calibrate its focus. Can you advise?
This is a professional lens, built very tough. Primary mirror cleaning is quite easy. but front element is kind of tricky. because there’s an inner thread there covered by damping oil/grease. Maybe you should try remove it from the front. remove the filter/cap thread ring first(My cap used to stuck with this ring so I‘ve got this far)…
In step 3, there are 2+3 screw holes at each end , those are for focus ring stopping screws. 3 for inf end and 2 for close end (if my memory is correct). But this is for adjustment instead of “calibration“. By my guess a giant lens like this could never be calibrated due to the TCE of aluminium tube. that’s why the focus ring is allow to go beyond inf.
