2. Apply a heated iOpener to the edges on the back of the phone to loosen the adhesive beneath the rear glass. Apply the iOpener for at least two minutes.

3. Secure a suction handle to the bottom of the rear glass, as close to the edge as possible.
4. Pull up the suction handle to generate a gap.
5. Insert an opening pick into the gap to further separate the rear glass from the phone assembly.
