#1: Follow Henry's instructions here: https://kyp.hauslendale.com/classics/filterringtool.html
This method is safe, cheap and it works, even with fixed lenses if a helper holds the camera while you are carefully hammering out the dent.
#2: The meters in Yashicas are sturdy and reliable, the wiring plus battery cases, switches and LDRs are not, so I would check them first, in that order.
#3. RF mirrors just drop off somehow because the glue fails. I often found them in all sorts of places inside the camera body, even in a remote area between gears in the bottom, not very often unharmed, though.
#4: For shutter repair, study Daniel Mirtchell's excellent repair advice: http://www.pheugo.com/cameras/index.php?page=copalmxv
#5: "Cutting out sections" is not very clever and should only be considered if all else fails.
#6: No matter whether your camera is a Lynx 14 or Lynx 14E, searching the archives is highly recommended.
