Nikon SB-26 hotshoe repair?

[brianhuangbh]

Hey guys. I recently got a hold of a used SB-26. It is well used, the diffuser card missing, scruffs over the body, but it still works great. The problem is, the previous owner of this flash wasn't careful enough with the flimsy plastic hotshoe, and it is a little bent. It doesn't look like it can be bent back, and it's always a fight whenever I want to take the flash off my camera. I found a replacement hotshoe on eBay for a few bucks, and I'm considering buying it and replacing it myself. How hard would this be? I don't want to mess it up and end up paying more. I haven't called a repair shop for a quote, but I probably will after the labor day. The repair doesn't look too hard- just unscrew the bottom maybe? I have no idea. What do you guys think?

Here's a link to the replacement hotshoe I was referring to.

I can also take a picture of the damaged hotshoe if you want.
