I think the crucial part, dismouting the main roller spring, for cleaning and greasing, is missing.

One could clean it if necessary - but normally that would not be the case since the spring is in a closed part of the roller. Don't use grease inside the roller; it should be a dry fit ....and there is always a chance that disassembly of the roller spring might break the spring.Originally Posted by Mael
Out of interest, what does the roller spring assembly look like? Do you have any photos? Thanks!
I would be interested in seeing some pictures of the repair process. I picked one up at a flea market but now having a closer look, it's missing the top spring arm. Initially I could pull the string but it never locked in place, but now the string is caught up inside and it won't pull at all now. I can send some pics if that will help.
thanks
[QUOTE=Ron (Netherlands);1716388]Just a few weeks ago I restored/repaired 5 of these rollerblind shutters, part of a collection of 7. They all needed new shutter curtains, and some had to take a new cord or had a slightly damaged case, which was also restored. If interesting to you I can share some pictures of the process and provide some notes on things to look for although the repair altogether is quite simple.
Hello Elmo, the pictures from my own repair process are on the pages 1 and 2 of this thread; I have some more pictures but they do not ad much to understanding the (IMHO quite simple) process of restoring these shutters. Of course if metal parts are missing - like the release (trigger) arm - , it can become difficult to restore the shutter since one has to replicate the metal part, and you will need for that an example at hand. If you can show a picture of your shutter with measurements, I might find a matching release arm on one of my shutters and send you some pictures with measurements - ...if that is of any help.?
