It is arguable that fixing the shutter directly is easier and preferred over the more involved removal first of the shutter body. I would say that if you are making a minor adjustment to the shutter works that the completer removal would be much. However, most of the reason to open the shutter is to clean and you will not get very much just by opening the front. There are too many places for dirt to wedge into and slow or stop the shutter.
Tools:
Set of flat tipped drivers (ie. Moody Tools MT-01-01 Screw Driver & AWL set) or the like
Long nose Pliers
Tweezers
Optical cleaner (eyeglass spray)
Optical cleaner tissue or cloth
Cotton swabs-buds-stick
Lighter fluid (Ronsonol)
Rubbing Alcohol
Scotch Magic tape (I do mean 3M brand)
- some optional stuff -
large sheet of paper
painter's tape
I Looked over the images and I've found too many holes to make efficient use of them. Almost all were for questions and the sequencing of them would be harder than just doing a start to finish of a B2 camera. So it looks like I'll do just that... in the following order...
1. Lens and cup body removal
2. Opening the lens and getting under everything
3. Leaf shutter and Aperture blades.
4. Focus and calibrate
5. Body work
6. Closing-up
First a note about what I am presenting here.
I am a camera repair DIY or enthusiast and have quite a few cameras I've worked on. However, I am not a trained factory repair or camera repair technician nor have I played one on television.
If you have never done this sort of thing before... here is a little advise before you start in.
It is not a race or a simple task that can be done in a few minutes.
If a beginner, consider spreading the work out a few days rather than get overwhelmed.
It is sometimes not the complexity, but the finest of the work that can lead to fatigue and mistakes.
So unless you have spare parts, just take your time and the results are still the same rather than break a part.
Take notes or pictures as you go. My method is to use a large sheet of paper and a tape dispenser and pen. As parts come off, I note from where and what in the order arrange that part and tape it down. Securing it will allow me to move the project aside if needed or if you have pets.
Also, read the sections a few times or ask a question if it is not clear. Either add a comment or email me direct, just put in the subject as "Repair question..." and the name of the camera. Take that time and you will have that tremendous feeling of accomplishment that the camera was fixed by you and every detail was understood and made right by you.
