The small, plastic grommets inside the film door hinges can easily fall off during this step. Don't lose them—you'll need them for reassembly.

Use the flat end of a spudger to push one of the film door hinges away from the camera and off its post.

Repeat the process to detach the other hinge.

Hold the film door steady so the already detached hinge doesn't slide back into place.

Check to see if either of the small, plastic hinge grommets stayed on their posts. If they did, remove them and set them aside.
