hit it with a rock!



seriously tho, you flick the lever out on the right hand side, and pull UP on it.

lift the rewind crank and the back opens.
The button on the bottom is for rewinding at the end - push it in and it releases the gearing so you can use the crank to rewind.

Go to page 10 in the Pentax ME manual. http://pentax-manuals.com/manuals/mf...e_manual_s.pdf
There are pictures. Might be some other useful information in the manual.

Not too long ago in this forum had a question on how to "rewind" the film. Can you believe it? Got the film in, took the pictures, couldn't rewind the film. Don't remember which model, but I noticed your ME is just like my Spotmatic for rewind.
