Default Leica r4 focusing screen

Hi all !
I got a very nice Leica R4 camera, but unfortunately focusing
screen has ugly "cleaning" marks. So my questions are :
1. How to clean these marks out ?
2. Where to buy new focusing screen ?
3. How to remove old one and install new one ?

Best regards,
Iggy.

The R4 is a good camera but it's biggest downfall is the standard screen
which is dark and difficult to focus. Throw it out the standard screen and
replace it with a current R screen, ie R6, R7. Order one from Adorama, B+H
if you cant find a local dealer who can do it for you. It comes with little
tweezers and instructions which tell you how to remove/replace the screen in
a body. The new screen is much brighter than the original R4 screen.
