My son & I recently cleaned up a camera back and replaced the foam.
The $13ish package on ebay may be more expensive than elsewhere but
it's a convenient purchase.
He removed the old foam with a toothpick or the like, and then used
an alcohol pad to clean the back of the residue & glue.
I took the foam, measured, and cut to length, then put it in place.
That was the easy part. But the whole job's not difficult at all.
About the mirror one would be more cautious concerning the focusing
screen. Perhaps a cotton swab or somesuch similar tool for getting
into a small area.
