Not an easy task even with a manual spent years building optical assemblies at LockheedMartin you need special tools without experience it can be difficult good luck if you try might be better to send to Canon
Thanks, I don't think it is worth sending to Canon. I've seen some horror stories of repair jobs that ended up costing two or three times as much as originally planned. I can probably buy a 5D II for considerably less than a repair shop would cost. :-)

LOL - I found this page of equipment needed in the Adjustment's section of the link.
Wow, maybe if I get that far I can find a local Canon shop. Thanks. :-)

I'm looking for a manual that will show me how to completely disassemble and reassemble a 5D II. It fell in fell in a river and is totally saturated with water. I want to totally disassemble it and dry it out and put it back together and see if it still works.
Interesting replies. I hope you find your manual. Keep in mind that there is very little understanding or support here for the "project" aspect of photography. Several years ago, I successfully refurbished a Nikon D300 after being told here that it was impossible and a stupid idea. (I did require a little help at the end.) I am in the process of doing the same to a D500, although it didn't need nearly as much work.
If it works, it was fun and rewarding. If not, it was fun trying. The main thing is to have a good system for keeping track of parts as you remove them. You may also want to try to find a non-working "sacrificial body" for extra parts and to try things you may have to do that are less straightforward.
