The part number for the 1Ds2 shutter unit is CG2-1162-000 000. There are LOTS of surrounding parts that may be damaged (or lost) and need replacing while getting into, removing, installing or buttoning-up the shutter.
You can download the Parts Manual HERE.
If you or a *trusted* friend are contemplating doing a replacement, you may want to watch one guy's attempt in the following scary 3-part video.

The video is titled, "Try to fix broken shutter in Canon EOS 1 D mark II N". Note the opening word "Try". Yikes! He actually took the shutter unit apart, which is NOT recommended. Just replace it.
If you're still willing after watching the vid, there are a couple of places listing the shutter units for sale on the Web. Seems to be in the $250-$300 range. Google is your friend here. Or there are a number of 1Ds2's for sale on the web, with hopefully a few shots left in them. Certainly a less nerve-racking solution unless you're a camera repairperson.
I love my 1ds2, but for me, when it goes, it's gone. It's paid for itself many times over. Time for something new.
