Introduction
This is a fairly straight-forward process. You may be able to get away without removing the rear rubber grip.
What you need
-
-
Removing the eyepiece is easy. There are two methods, you can do it yourself, or put it in your camera bag a dozen times and at least once, it will fall off.
-
Grip the eyepiece by the sides firmly (index finger and thumb). Wiggle it upwards until it is off.

-
Open the battery door
-
Rotate the door so the one side of the hinge pops out (see photo #2)
-
Slide other pin out (it pops out the same, but this is easier)
-
-
-
Use a thin piece of plastic, spudger, or fingernail (if you have them) to lift up the edge of the grip, and pull up slowly.
-
Repeat for the other two grips
-
Remove the adhesive like you would rubber cement, just rub your finger against it, it will come off.
-
Optionally throw the balled up adhesive at people pretending its a booger :)

-
Using a Spudger, fingernail, or other thin plastic tool to wedge the panel off of the camera
-
Start at the camera's front. Pulling on the rubber av-cover may be enough to get it to move off the body
-
Only pull about 1/4" (3-5mm). There is a tab that will need to slide out
-
-
-
At this point, the only thing holding on is the dust-cover is hooked onto the front panel
-
Slide down to remove without damaging the cover. (see photo with cover removed)
-
You can see how the cover, and side piece fit together in the second image.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
