More 80's Stuff - Mongoose BMX Questions!

Hey all,
In a never-ending quest to return to my youth, I picked up an '85 Mongoose Californian, almost exactly like the bike I had as a teenager. I've got loads of shadetree mechanical experience and love to tinker, so I want to try my hand at doing some simple maintenance on this bike to get it really road-worthy again. The trouble is, I can't find good writeups anywhere on how to do it? I've scoured the net, and looked at vintagemongoose.com and bmxmuseum.com and can't really find solid info.

Basically, I need to know how to break down the head so I can clean and regrease the bearings in the fork, and how to take apart the crank so I can clean and regrease them.

Help!
