Hi,
I am a complete novice at camera repair and trying to open my Oly 35 SP to clean the shutter blades in the hope that this will get it working again. I have got this far (see pic) before reading that it is easier to get at the shutter from the front!
so
1) Should I continue dismantling from the back?
2) If so, what do I do next? (Do I have to unscrew all the gubbings on the right?
3) If I instead go from the front is it the same as this? http://www.kyphoto.com/classics/oly35rdcleaning.html
4) What size lens spanner do I need for either front or back? (I got this far with screwdrivers and pliers)
And assuming I get that far
5) Is it hard to re-solder the wires?
6) How do I get that pin back in?
Thanks in advance.

I'm afraid you're going to be on your own here, because you're the first person I've ever heard of who did this from the back. You're in unknown territory.
