Zorki 4 crate removal

Finally got my Zorki 4 working, for about 50 shutter cycles. Now, a strap on the lead curtain has become detached from the drum. I need to remove the crate from the top deck re-glue. Can anyone tell me which screws need to go? The two under the light shield underneath the rewind knob are obvious, as is the big screw that holds a coupling gear next to the film advance. Am I missing any?

Thanks in advance,
-Matthew

I confess to have never taken the crate off an older model but I'd be surprised if it was any different than the 4K. On that, there are only 2 screws holding the top plate to the crate (once you've removed all the other stuff the CLA thread mentions). One is plainly visible and the other is hidden under the VF/RF mechanism, which has to be removed.
