Can we talk about recalibrating a shutter that took me 6 hours to fix?

I spent an entire Saturday on a Canon A-1 shutter that kept sticking at 1/1000, and everyone says to just clean the magnets but the real fix was a tiny burr on the gear train nobody mentions. Has anyone else found the 'obvious' repair advice actually misses the actual problem most of the time?

Nikon F2 owner here, my light meter is powered by vibes and good intentions.

I just memorize sunny 16 and hope for the best with my F2.
