Fujifilm Instax Minion Camera Shell Replacement

Introduction

This replacement is fairly straight forward. The only tool you will need is a #00 Phillips screwdriver and/or an extra long #00 Phillips screwdriver. Optionally, you could use a nylon spudger to help pry open the camera shell.

Carefully peel the front side of the shell away.
As you lift the front shell, be careful to not pull too hard since there is a spring attached to the shell and the camera body.
Using a set of tweezers, detach the spring from the body. The spring will retract into the black and gray ring on the front shell.
