 Is there a good fix for this? In the shop when I showed this to people and
asked for suggestions, they just squirted a drop of lighter fluid under the
ring which seemed to help for a little while (which would probably explain
why it didn't get fixed by the CLA), but is there a more permanent solution?
Should I just get into the habit of turning it back and forth every time?

That's what I do, Dan. Since OM-2S's seem to be prone to the "dirty ASA dial" syndrome, I typically watch for it before an outing and do a comparison against manual spot and just give a turn or two for good measure. I also tend to use the exposure comp dial for brackets quite a bit, which probably makes a difference.

Don't like the sound of that lighter fluid trick, personally.
