Repairing a back is really of a different complexity than a lens/shutter..

If you insist on trying get some old scrap lenses first to see what it
entails.  Only then start surgery on your pride & joy.

I'm speaking of one who has done cleaning & relube on various Pentax lenses,
including zoom lenses.  It is all doable.  But I still stay away from my HB
Zeiss glass.  Especially everything with floating elements you should stay
away from in the DIY arena. (Not that C glass has FLE but still...)
