Thanks for adding this small guide, linked from the 'How to Reshell' guide. The springs of my shoulder buttons fell out during disassembly and this made it so much easier and less stressful, knowing I was doing it right. Everything works perfect again, including a stuck button (I had to replace the rubber pad)
