help-shutter problem

hello!

I have a problem with the help-shutter of my hasselblad 500c. It stops 1 cm before it should normally should stop...and its also a little bit slower than normal, so if a shoot, the lens shutter is a little bit delayed because the help shutter is too slow.

Can I fix this problem by myself and how?

Thanks!!

Asking this means no!

Hasselblad bodies are cleverly engineered mechanical devices that need a trained and experienced hand to service.
Find an experienced repair man who knows these cameras.
He will not be cheap but at least he will not make the problem bigger or ruin your camera in the proces.

The signs your camera shows mean it wants a good clean and lube service.
Just solving the problem of the auxilary shutter will introduce new problems later as well as extra wear.
