It requires removing the base plate and cleaning the release magnet next to the winder coupling contacts. However, this magnet being dirty is an indication of the camera needing an overhaul. I am a camera repairman and specialize in the repair of Canon 35mm cameras and lenses. If you have need of my services, please contact me. Steve Camera Clinic 50 Freeport Blvd #24 Sparks, NV 89431
