Yikes!  I think "repair" is a bit of a stretch for his method.  The front
lens assembly can be re-inserted if it and the tracks it slides in are not
damaged, but it sure doesn't go together the way he describes it.  You need
to remove the lens assembly from the body and re-assemble it correctly.
Force should never be used in assembling the lens.
