I have successfully cleaned many shutters by cleaning only one side, but you have to perservere. By activating the shutter it will transfer the lighter fluid to the other side, and if you keep repeating the process you can clean the shutter quite well. I'm not saying here that it is as good as a full stripdown, but it does mean that the average person has a good chance of having a working camera, whereas not all of us are capable of total disassembly.Cameras I cleaned this way 5 or more years ago are still working properly.
