The collar with the two holes in it unscrews counterclockwise. There is a second one underneath that is smaller that should come out too. The cage that is held to the camera body by three screws from inside the body doesn't have to come out. The camera top should just lift off. If you are trying to adjust the angle of the mirror, use alcohol to free up the adjusting screws. I buggered one of mine, and I am trying to get a replacement screw.
