Does anybody have any notes or advice on disassembling a Canon EF-M body?

I recently bought one fairly cheaply, and although it seemed fine when testing it out in the shop it soon afterwards showed traces of the sticky black goo endemic to EOS bodies of similar age. Having this fixed professionally (as I did with my RT) would cost more than I paid for the camera, so I thought I'd try it myself. Getting the outer covers off is easy enough, but it would appear I need to get the mirror box away from the rest of the guts before I can reach the shutter.

Any hints would be appreciated -- I wouldn't want to pull out the wrong screw and find that I've knackered something by accident!

Sorry, just realised that my question isn't exactly on-topic for the forum. I'd got so used to doing a quick search here for advice on my FD era kit that I forgot the EF-M would probably be considered too modern.

Please accept my apologies for the intrusion!
