Canon EOS Rebel XS 35mm Back Latch Replacement

Remove 6 screws using a PH000 Screwdriver.

Remove 1 (7mm) screw

Remove 5 (4mm) screws

With your fingers, push on the bottom cover with a horizontal force until it clicks and separates.

With tweezers - although you can also use your fingers - you may remove these 5 gears and place them somewhere else for the time being. They fall out easily while you're working, so this will help you stay organized.

Using a PH000 screwdriver bit, remove the three black screws shown in the two pictures that are all 4 mm in length and 1 mm in diameter.

Using a Phillips #000 screwdriver, remove the two black screws shown in the picture that are both 6 mm in length and 1.25 mm in diameter.

Pull off the front cover.

Using an opening tool (you can also use your nails, but try not to use something potentially damaging to the camera such as metal), separate the top cover from the rest of the camera!

Once the front, top, and bottom covers have all been removed, it's time to remove the back latch! Using a paperclip or something similar (anything that's very skinny), push on the end of the skinny, silver, metal rod that vertically travels through the camera. Do this until enough of the rod pops out on the other side for the next step.

With a pair of tweezers or just your fingers, pull the rod completely out of the camera. The back latch should then completely detach from the camera.
