Fun indeed! :-)
I need to correct my statement above: If when you manual focus, your
images are back-focused, then you need to install shims. If they are
front-focused, you need to file the focusing screen. Shims are a lot
easier than filing!
Oh, and both shims and filing take place on the upper part of the
focusing screen (i.e., the part facing the pentaprism).
