I am trying to clean the viewfinder and lens of a Kodak No. 2 Beau Brownie. This camera has the chrome and enamel, art deco style faceplate that is held in place by four pins (or nails, for lack of a better term). Any suggestions on how to remove the faceplate without marring or bending it? It appears that this is the only logical way to access the viewfinder and rear lens element.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
