Wish I had come across this thread sooner! I got to the part of attempting to replace my back-up camera on the 2011 ford edge where I couldn't figure out how to separate the pieces in tmtubells #8 image. I didn't want to break something. So after contemplating this for a while I came up with the best solution for me - Dremmel + Gorilla Glue. And you know what - it works great!
1) after you remove the body panel that had the camera and emblem, do not attempt to separate the pieces.
2) dremmel the black plastic piece that is holding the camera firmly in place
3) remove the plastic piece and disconnect/remove the camera
4) put in new camera and reconnect
5) repositon plastic piece. i had to just shims to get a tight fit. i used pieces of a wire tie
6) gorilla glue and let dry
7) put everything back together. to get a tight fit. i used pieces of a wire tie

Tried to post images, but no luck. Anyway, this worked nicely for me. Good luck to all!
