Have done that repair years ago before my more serious tinkering days, as I had then no real idea of how demanding messing about with photo gear can be, I guess the job must be quite easy. There are only two things I can recall, I went in from the bottom starting with one visible slothead screw, and, secondly, the glass is rather thin, I used one from a slide frame cut to measure and glued it in, hope this helps at least a bit.

Thanks. I saw the screw, but it being a Minox, I decided that caution was the better part of valour & to check things first before blundering in.
