[Leica] A bit OT, but I need advice

[Don Dory]

Normally I don't recommend Nikon USA service but for this bit of tear down
and rebuild I would send it to Nikon.  The shutter will have to come out
and possibly the sensor and then there is the alignment of the focus sensor.

You have a pro level camera that needs to be put back to factory specs.
