Inside the cover plate there will probably still be pieces of old film, that could get stuck in the future. This is an easy operation, just take care so that you attach the lock plate in the correct position when you put it all back. (The lock plate is the part inside the camera that locks the bottom plate, as you turn the lever on the bottom plate) Be careful with the small screws, one of them is shorter than the others.
