I haven't seen anything like this online. Canon will
probably be happy to sell you repair manuals, but I
wouldn't be surprised if they cost more than the lens
did new.

Even if you can disassemble and reasassemble it, you
may still end up with a useless lens. It's critical to
lens performance that all the elements be aligned on
their optical centers. To get this right by eye would
be a stroke of luck--you really need an optical bench
to do it.
