Yashica DSB 50mm f1.9 trouble

Years ago I saved a nice Yashica FR-1 outfit from being 'Dumped' together with a Contax RTS II Quartz. Now the Yashica DSB 50mm f1.9 no longer 'stops down' When I pull round the spring on rear it moves round but does not stop down the aperture. It is a a good sharp lens but I have to use it at f1.9 all the time. Any Help here about repair myself or is it a'Professional and Costly' job ?

YO !! Very Helpful !! Luckily I have NO OIL on aperture blades -- I just need to hook up a spring perhaps to get it to 'stop down' again -----
