Hi, Recently I acquired a Graflex RB Series B 4x5 camera for longer lenses. The focal plane shutter is not working. But I found out that the shutter curtain seems to be intact and in good shape, it is just detached from the bottom roller. I can even see the old glue mark at the edges of the shutter curtain. You can find a photo below.

So are there any easy ways to re-attach the end of shutter curtain to the bottom roller? I took off the rotating plate already, but have no idea how to access the roller without removing the side panels? Any hints and tips will be appreciated. I'm also watching some youtube videos, but most of them are about adjusting the tension of the shutter.
