Are you speaking of the small plastic tab with the white line that you 
push to start the self-timer?  If so, on all but the very earliest 
types, it's just glued in place.  The part comes new with a small 
round plastic post sticking out the back that used to fit in a hole on 
the arm it's attached to -- the post is melted wide to keep the tab in 
place on the older type arms.  Later arms don't have a hole, so the 
post is just sheared off and the tab is glued onto the arm.  We 
usually used a tiny dot of superglue.
