Hello, Alan.
If you managed to get the top plate off, you'll need to remove it again. Once inside, you'll see the pentaprism is held down by three small screws. Remove those and lift the prism up and out. You'll likely see some tiny washers underneath the ears holding the prism in...save those and mark where they were. Leaving them out will affect your focus, as will mixing them up. Leaving them out of one side will make you center the picture lopsided. With the prism out, you can carefully clean the mirror...use a soft microfiber cloth and no more pressure than you'd use if you were touching your bare eyeball with your fingertip. You can also clean the bottom of the focus screen, but again, use little to no pressure and a nice microfiber cloth. I would not disassemble the prism/focus screen assembly. You can do this, but generally there is no need to. Good luck.

Jon
