Anyone have info or reference material on disassembling a Canon IIf?

I recently picked up a Canon IIf in need of repair. I'd been looking for a cheap LTM camera to learn more about repairing them. I've worked on a FED 2 and pulled a Leica IIIc out of the shell to check the curtains. I figured that would give me a good head start.

Right now, I'm trying to get it out of the shell. I have the 3 screws on the front off and the 6 around the top. I also removed the lens mount (noting the shimming, etc). I'm still missing something though as the right side is still anchored down.

My guess would be the slow sleep dial needs to come off but I figured I'd check here to see if anyone had experience with this before I start exploring blinding.
