Disassembly instructions

Notes

On my camera there is one screw obviously larger than the others.
It has a thicker thread, and goes in the tongue hinge (the spot covered by the rubber bumper removed in step 2).

There were 2 other screws that were ever so slightly smaller than the rest. These came out of the outer 2 tongue hinge holes. The difference between these 2 smaller screws was so slight that at first I didn't see the difference. Only when I tried reassembling the camera did it make a difference as the larger screws didn't want to fit in the tongue hinge without forcing. I suspect this was just a variation on screw manufactures and not an intentional variation.

 
1) Begin by opening the tongue all the way flat and setting the camera right side up.
2) Using a small flat screwdriver (or whatever) remove the rubber bumper from the tongue hinge. This bumper is held in with a double stick tape type adhesive. If care is used in removal, you should be able to put the bumper back in later.
3) Unscrew the 3 Phillips head screws from the tongue and place them in a safe place. I put mine in a small zip-lock bag along with the other parts.
4) Turn the camera over and lift off the tongue cover plate. This should come off easily if you have the tongue fully open. There may be some resistance. Make sure you pull the plate straight off as there are several plastic extensions where the screws mount that must be pulled directly out. Do not try to remove the plate at an angle.
5) Remove the 5 remaining screws from the camera support bracket (seen in the above photo) and carefully pry the bottom (now on the top) portion of the plastic bracket away from the camera. It may help to swivel the camera head up and down to get it to release. Again use caution as there are pins on the bottom plate that fit into holes on the top.
From this point you are on your own. This is as far as I went because I only wanted to get the tongue off the camera to make it easier to mount in my truck.
