Thanks a lot for the guide. I don’t know if it’s because I was extra careful after reading it, but I actually didn’t find it as hard as described. It was pretty straight forward and only used a metal spudger, to go around the case to free it. No damage to the back plate or any of the pins. It all clicked nicely into place to close it afterwards.

You need to take the knobs from the front and then yes, just the five screws.
