Damaged mode dial on EOS 7D

Hi I've got a mode dial that's damaged, i.e. the button is damaged but works. I need to replace it along with the top plate. Can I do this without dismantling the camera?

Thanks

You need to peel up the plate with the modes on these. Once you do that then you usually remove a screw in the center to remove the dial. The main thing you MUST DO is put it in full auto mode as this makes installation easier. This has worked for me on the ELAN 7, I very much doubt that Canon changed much between then besides the plate being a full cover part now.

The hole button came off, it broke, its not just the plate. I don't know how to fix it.
