All threads unscrew anticlockwise. Set ASA at an easily remembered value, remove circlip and lift off complete dial. If you want to remove the shutter button assembly unmarked, you should really use one of the special tools that grip the total circumference. Alternatively you can; 1/ Wrap a length of watch spring around the assembly and grip the ends with pliers - making a small strap wrench in effect. 2/ Take a small pair of engineers pliers and file out the semi-circular cut outs in the jaws, until the cut out matches the diameter of button assembly. Also remove the viewfinder shutter lever, prick out plastic center and remove screw.

Final point - It is most important that you set the viewfinder info switch, under battery test button to the on position - towards white dot. If this is not done, you will make a bloody mess of the switch contacts!
