[dbendo]

Can anyone Help with removing top cover plate to service rangefinder on canon 2B? I cannot take off the shutter speed dial. It has one screw, I removed it but cannot take off the dial. It’s the only thing left keeping me
From taking off the plate to get to the rangefinder. Thanks dbendo

The shutter speed dial is usually put on tight. You may have to use a screwdriver, or something flat, to "pry" up on the dial as you lift it. It will come up, but you'll have to work it up and off.

The "LearnCameraRepair" site is a useful source of industry service manuals, trade publications, camera repair tutorials and coursework. There's a brief discussion in "SPT SERVICE NOTES, JULY-AUG 1970" titled "Canon (Early Rangefinder Model) - Disassembly" which you may find useful.
