3. Before removing the lens or body cap, use a bulb blower or cleaning brush to remove dust
around the lens mount. This will help prevent dust from getting into the viewfinder.
4. Remove the lens from the camera and note the position of the focusing screen, the screen
retainer and the latch. Clean any dust from the mirror chamber before beginning the
procedure to help ensure a dust-free result. Place a strip of PecPad over the main mirror
for protection. The pad is omitted in the photos in this guide for visual clarity.
