Where are you located?

Do NOT attempt yourself unless you have significant experience and expertise.

I give you some sources as attached. I recommend not getting involved with the product unless you have considerable knowledge and experience, and it is better to seek help from an expert.

Broken Core -> Broken Kowa. It's google's machine translation result from Korean to English. haha,

There is also objective lens collimation, not only prizms?

My mistake was that I disassemble it. May long distance transportation cause collimation failure?

The collimation is usually done by rotation of the objective lenses as they are in they are eccentric cells. You need a special spanner to lose. And tighten to avoid damaging the objective. It’s the way some old pork binoculars were collinated, more robust than adjusting the prism tilt.

Not the end of the world but not ideal. I'm sure tossing them about could wreck collimation but I've heard they're extremely robust in that regard. Minor tweaking only

Objective lens collimation is the meaning of fine tune. I think you need a prism unit collimation first. Cheer up!!!
