Is it possible to tighten a lens aperture ring? If its possible, are we talking major dollar surgery here?

A few questions come to mind... Is the ring loose? Also, does the aperture function properly despite the looseness of the ring? If the answer is yes in both cases then it's easy to fix, you could either take it to a certified camera repair shop in your area or do it yourself with small screwdrivers (jeweler's variety) and some magnifying glasses.
The answer is yes to both your questions. I guess my next question is what screw(s) would do the job?
