Step 14 The little hook at the bottom that holds the flash assembly in is hard to see. It is part of the bracket that holds the flash in and also forms part of the chassis of the camera. I found that you can gently flex the bracket outward ( away from the flash) to release the hook. After that, the flash unit came right out. Also note, that some flash units you get from electronics scrapers on ebay will have the bracket attached to the flash unit and it needs to be removed before you install the replacement part. It seems obvious but then again…
