Canon makes a little tool and supplies it with replacement/accessory focusing screens. The screens are made of relatively soft plastic and are easily scratched. I suggest buying a replacement screen (about $30 US) and using the tool supplied with it. However, it is do-able with small tweezers. There is a latch on the front which holds the frame (which holds the screen in place), allowing the frame to swing down (it's hinged in the back). The screen has a small tab (on the front) which is used to lift the screen.
