Pentax LX Top Cover (Rewind Side) Removal

crwdns2915892:0crwdne2915892:0

Removing the top cover of the camera is the first step in many servicing jobs. It gives the user direct access to the ISO resistor which frequently needs to be cleaned.

Any disassembly of the LX body will compromise the weather sealing. New seals must be reapplied during final reassembly to restore weather proofing.
