Leica Z2X Lens Cover Replacement

Carefully unscrew the four Phillips #0 screws on the bottom of the camera.

Open the back door on the camera by pushing down on the door latch.

Apply pressure to the bottom plate and it will pop off.

From here, you can replace the bottom plate, or continue on to further steps.

Having opened the camera and removed the bottom plate, unscrew the five screws marked in the picture.

The screw marked in blue is a tiny bit harder to find because it's in a crevice. Don't miss it!

Apply pressure until the piece you unscrewed in the last step pops off.

Unscrew the four screws on the back of this piece to the lower-left corner of the lens.

Removing the lens motor cover, you should be left with these four pieces.

Located underneath these four pieces is the lens motor.

Now that you've removed the bottom plate, you can pull apart the front and back covers.

Start with the front cover and, by applying pressure (perhaps a lot of pressure), snap off the front cover.

Next, the back cover.

Apply pressure to remove the back plate.

The best way to remove the back is to stick your thumbs on either side of the battery socket and separate from there.

You should now have removed the front and back plates.

Remove the four screws holding on the front panel surrounding the lens.

Remove the three gears under the panel you removed in the last step and the lens motor should be able to be removed.

Now that the lens motor has been removed, you can apply pressure to the back of the lens and push it out.

From here, locate the three screws near the front of the lens.

Unscrew these three screws.

From here, you can pull out the small disk containing the lens cover.

Unscrew the four screws on the back and pull the two pieces of the disk apart.

From here, you can replace any broken parts in the lens cover.
