As part of some deep cleaning following my dust-ridden trip to Mongolia, I need to remove the focusing screen from my Mamiya 645 Pro body. Which screws does one have to remove to free the screen? I've already dismantled, cleaned, and reassembled my prism and one of my light meters, and am quite mechanically inclined, so please nobody say leave it to a professional. Thanks in advance!

PENTAX 645 AND MAMIYA 645 SUPER
1. Remove camera lens.
2. Push or press screen latch allowing screen frame to drop down.
3. Remove existing screen with tweezers.
4. Replace with Intenscreen using tweezers on the projecting tab.
5. Lay in tray with tab correctly positioned.
6. Raise frame up until the latch clicks into position.

is this it?

Too bad they didn't make it as easy as the older 645 cameras.
