Got it figured out:

Flash connector
1) Unscrew the right-handed spanner screw

Rewind knob:
1) Pull the knob all the way up
2) Loosen the grub screw through the hole on the axial
3) Unscrew the right-handed knob
4) Unscrew the right-handed spanner screw

Winding level:
1) Unscrew the top left-handed spanner screw, be careful with the hair size washer underneath it
2) Loosen three set screws on the winding level and remove the film counter cover
3) Unscrew the left-handed slotted screw and take out the counter mechanism as one piece
4) Unscrew two right-handed slotted screws and remove the level

The cover should be free to remove now.

I hope this will save someone's time later.
