This is a fairly straight-forward process. You may be able to get away without removing the rear rubber grip.

  1. Disassembling Canon EOS 60D Removing Back Panel, Eye piece and Battery door: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0 Disassembling Canon EOS 60D Removing Back Panel, Eye piece and Battery door: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0
    • Removing the eyepiece is easy. There are two methods, you can do it yourself, or put it in your camera bag a dozen times and at least once, it will fall off.

    • Grip the eyepiece by the sides firmly (index finger and thumb). Wiggle it upwards until it is off.

    • Open the battery door

    • Rotate the door so the one side of the hinge pops out (see photo #2)

    • Slide other pin out (it pops out the same, but this is easier)

  3. Disassembling Canon EOS 60D Removing Back Panel, Rubber grips: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0
    • Use a thin piece of plastic, spudger, or fingernail (if you have them) to lift up the edge of the grip, and pull up slowly.

    • Repeat for the other two grips

    • The large one on the battery-side is the easiest to start with. This is required to remove the front & back panels

    • The small one on the back is a bit difficult to get started, but not really difficult to remove.

    • The one on the AV panel will be easier if you open up the AV port cover.

    • Remove the adhesive like you would rubber cement, just rub your finger against it, it will come off.

    • Optionally throw the balled up adhesive at people pretending its a booger :)

    • Remove 3 screws

    • Remove the small Screw under the Flip cover too

    • Using a Spudger, fingernail, or other thin plastic tool to wedge the panel off of the camera

    • Start at the camera's front. Pulling on the rubber av-cover may be enough to get it to move off the body

    • Only pull about 1/4" (3-5mm). There is a tab that will need to slide out

    • At this point, the only thing holding on is the dust-cover is hooked onto the front panel

    • Slide down to remove without damaging the cover. (see photo with cover removed)

    • You can see how the cover, and side piece fit together in the second image.
