There's a Fred Miranda forum devoted to "Manual Focus Nikon Glass", that has about 3000 pages of entries and pix. Self described as "This thread is devoted to those photographers shooting with Nikon digital and film cameras who mount manual focus Nikon lenses, specifically those lenses with either Nikkor or Series E Nikon labels."
There's also lots of chat about where lenses can be found and fixed.
I woud check with John and see what he suggests. he may know someone who he can recommend if he does not do the full overhaul.
Or, here is one I have communicated with, and his security is so high you cannot visit him and drop off a camera. Must be shipped. My understanding is he can rebuild anything, and have the factory seals intact. Leica is his specialty. I have driven by his house thousands of times.....
