Subject: [Leica] Stiff Helicoid

I have a 90mm Summicron which is usable, but uncomfortably stiff in the
focus.  I would hope that a disassembly, cleaning, and relub with the
right stuff would put it back in shape. Is this a basic any-decent-shop
can do it repair, or does it require a Leica specialist? I would assume
that the official New Jersey route would be slow and expensive, although
excellent.
