Schritt 4

Ensure the LCD screen is swung fully to the left before taking off the back panel.
Use the iFixit opening tool to pry off the back panel.
Don't completely pull off the back panel because there is still a ribbon attached.
Use the black spudger to unclip the ribbon located behind the battery compartment. Then remove it using the nylon tipped tweezers.
Once the ribbon is unplugged, remove the back panel from the camera body.

The first step is a little confusing to me—can you clarify what you mean? Also, be sure to check end punctuation on each step.

On the third step, only the thin plastic ribbon comes out, the brown and gray plastic parts are the connector and will stay with the board, I pulled the gray plastic part and broke the connector.

Remove the sunshade located on the front of the lens by twisting it 90 degrees in either direction, then pull straight off the lens.

Should this be two steps? Do you have any images of you removing the lens?
