Hi, it's easy, I have done it couple of times to resolder battery contacts (these are most suspectible). The prism housing is separate unit, so y ou don't have to worry about misalignment.
1) by use of two screwdrivers or spanner wrench, remove the retaining ring around the eyepiece. The eyepiece than screws right out. 2) just pry the plastic loose, starting from top. Be careful to not damage the cosmetics. 3) IIRC, that's all, but maybe, there's a small worm / screw behind the nameplate at the rear bottom part (the Made in Japan or something like it). I really don't remember. OTOH, this screw can be just holding the battery contaCTS, so it might not be essential in getting it opened.
