In Step 3 above, you definitely need to remove the hot shoe cover, and the 4 screws underneath that in order to remove the back of the camera safely! If you don’t, the back cover only comes off with excessive force and then causes damage to the portion of the bracket holding it in place beneath the hot shoe - trust me, I know from experience.
