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.

Thanks Jim. Is there a detailed tutorial available anywhere you know of?

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.
