Introduction
Use this guide to replace the shutter assembly.
Note: You'll need JIS screwdrivers for this repair. Regular Phillips screwdrivers have a cross pattern with rounded inner edges and won't fully fit the slots in the JIS screws. JIS screwdrivers instead have a straight cross pattern which makes much better contact with the screw head and is made for the high torque you will need to loosen the screws.

Use a #00 Philips, not a #0, or you'll strip the screws. Also, there are two or three screws connecting the shutter assembly to the camera body, and its contacts are soldered on. So you need a soldering iron for the last step.
im gonna be trying this soon , how long did it take and how difficult is it ,,,
Regardless of possibly a few missing steps, this is a great lesson of how to deal with shutter replacement on my own. Hats off !!
