To unscrew the ring around the shutter release button, you need something sticky. Sometimes you can just stick some masking tape to it and use the folds of the tape as a handle to twist with; sometimes it works better to take a wooden stick, or a screwdriver handle (the ones with removable shafts) or something similar and glue a piece of rubber (at least 1/16" thick) to one end, and then press this down hard against the ring as you twist to unscrew it. For a bit more power, substitute a piece of 3M double-sided foam tape adhesive for the rubber.

To unscrew the rewind knob, open the back and stick a small screwdriver blade between the 2 sides of the forked end of the shaft so it won't turn; now just flip out the crank on the knob and turn it counterclockwise.

Other than those two, it's just Phillips head screws.
