This only dissassembles the front part of the viewfinder (the one sticking out of the front cover). This was removed for cleaning. For the rest of the viewfinder a soldergun is needed. I did not need to go that deep.

You can pry the front cover up and down to loosen it. Be careful not to pry horizontally and only vertically. This is because of the open aperture blades that are on the sides.

The machinery is now open and can be dissasembled further or the front cover might be cleaned freely without worry that cleaning liquid would seep into the camera.

You might need to push the brass lever that holds the wires in place (right under the small board on the leftside) up to fit the front cover back on.

2 flathead screws hold the viewfinder and lightmeter in place.

Reassembling can be done by placing the viewfinder back in place and screwing the screws back in.

Start with the bottom, more easily accessable screw.
