Removing shutter speed dial face plate

[Arbitrarium]

Hiya.

I'm wondering how people go about this. A lot of SLRs have screws hidden beneath glued-on face plates, often on the top of the shutter speed dial or the wind on lever. How do you get them off without resorting to chiselling from the edge and ruining the face plate? Even a scalpel blade is too thick to get down the side to lever it up. Would using a friction pad and twisting free up the glue perhaps? Or is there a simple method I'm totally missing?

Cheers

Use hot glue to put some kind of handle on it? Hot glue can be unglued with a drop of alcohol, with minimum damage.
