Removing the Canon AE-1, AE-1 Program and A-1 squeak

The famous Canon squeak is common, but it should be treated carefully and with the right access point.

The Canon squeak is well known, but it is not a reason to flood the camera with oil. Too much lubricant can cause more problems than the original noise.The correct approach is targeted, minimal and followed by a functional check of the mirror and shutter cycle.Done properly, the camera becomes quieter without contaminating nearby parts.
