I found a video on Youtube explaining how to remove the plastic insert and also how to get the spine off without denting it(since it is stuck on).
Basically you use a credit card(or similar) to put between the steel and plastic and wiggle so that they part, then pull them apart. The spine had to be held over some steam(I put water in a pan and put it on the stove) then slowly slid the credit card through the gap between the metal spine and the plastic edge.
Once you have got it all apart you have to clean the glue off of the spine and the area where the spine was originally. You need adhesive remover(harder to get hold of in this country, but lighter fluid usually works just as well).
You need to print your picture to the correct size and with markings so you can cut it into the three sections(front, spine, back). Put the front and back pieces into the correct steel parts and push the plastic insert back into place. For the spine you need a very thin roll of double sided tape(I used 6mm). Put the double sided on the plastic outside and stick your spine image the correct way up facing in. Then put another piece of double sided on top of the part you just stuck down and do the same again this time with the metal spine.
I typed this pretty quick, so I am not sure if it all makes sense but if not you can type in something like how to make custom steelbook art into Youtube.
Hope this helps!
