Anyone know how to do this? I got the rewind lever and the plate below it off. Also the inner locking collar is off. I see 2 screws under the rewind lever spring plate but I can't get to them without bending the plate.

I am not sure how far you've got, but what I did on my Contaflex (also a Super B) is :

Remove the 2 screws on top of the rewind knob

Take off the plate and the handle lever.

Unscrew the collar in the centre

Unscrew the bottom part of the knob (hold the fork inside the camera)

I think the rest of the screws are obvious.

Be warned the Contaflexes are not easy cameras to work on inside. Lots of parts....
