    This screw is sometimes hidden inside of the access hole and can only be loosened from the outside of the camera. In order to fully remove it, you will have to partly remove the camera back assembly as the screw head is too large to pass through the access hole.

Thank you so much!! I needed to replace the entire rear cover, because Canon doesn't sale just the wheel separately. your guide was the best one I found on the web. I think you ought to make a video of it, I admit I didn't see the "black flip-up" in part 6 so that part (putting the cable back in) was the most aggravating part for me.

But again thank you so much!
