[OM] Shutter speed ring

Hi all,

My OM2 has a very loose shutter speed ring.
What I mean is that there is very little clicking between stops.
It has gotten so bad that the shutter speed can accidently be 
shifted without my knowing it, very easily.  

I believe that there is a ball and a spring that causes the clicks
at each position.
I would think that the spring is worn.  (this has been mentioned before)
My questions are, 
should I fix it myself?  
What is under the collar when I remove it?
Will I be in deep doo doo if I open it and lose something?
Are parts available?
Can the tension be adjusted or do I need a new spring ?

Thanks for your input,

Charlie L.
