DON'T DO IT.
I once had a problem with a Mamiya (645) lens and managed to screw it in
the process.
Get a price from Nikon - and the work will be guaranteed - assuming the
lens is not still under guarentee of course? There should be no dust
inside a lens that's only a few years old so you could try chatting them
into doing it for a reduced fee if not free.
