[OM] 35DC Shutter removal

Hello all,

Just working on one of these and I have hit a block and need some advice.

The camera is locked before shutter firing. The shutter button has been
cracked and the part has not fallen out in my exploration so far. My
suspicion is that the small fragment has fallen deeper into the body and is
jamming the shutter mechanical. The leaf shutter does not appear to be oiled
but it will be next on my list. Before I take the lens apart I am looking at
checking the mechanical parts behind the front of the camera. Getting the
top and bottom off was no problem. Having stripped the leatherette I removed
the four screws holding the lens board to rest of the body. Then comes my
block, the lens board does not want to separate from the body. There is some
movement but it feels like there is another screw somewhere holding me up? I
know that there will be at least one wire to unsolder from the light sensor
after the lens board comes away.

Does anyone have a pointer where to go from here? Thanks for any help.

Dan S.
