It's a tricky job because when you take out the screws inside the top cover
all the little pads can fall out along with the springs and buttons. It's a
given that you shouldn't try it at home, imo.

John H. is understating this!
Taking the top cover off of an SLR like the OM-4[T] is anything but
simple. Getting one back on again can be even more difficult. All your
controls protrude through it (notable exception: self-timer), it houses
the prism, plus (IIRC) there's a flex circuit that snakes around under it
to get to the controls. Having the proper tools and repair manual(s) for
it isn't sufficient. Those who do this type of work for themselves
(usually on very old classics) practice disassembling and reassembling
several worthless dead carcasses of the same model before working on one
destined for repair/restoration.
