Title	Pentax MZ-S Mirror Motor Gear Replacement
Introduction	A common failure of the Pentax MZ-S camera is the Mirror Motor Gear. The gear drives core functions of the camera including the shutter and mirror movement. If it fails, the shutter will no longer fire and the mirror will be stuck close in the up position. This guide explains how to disassemble the camera to access the Mirror Motor Gear as well as how to install a new gear. A general understanding of how cameras work is recommended. Some technical soldering is also required.
