  3. Remove the six caps from the outer edge of the face of the speaker with an iFixit opening tool.
  4. Make sure to remove the rubber caps slowly and carefully so that the ends won't break off and create a blockage above the screws.

  6. Remove the six 4 mm Phillips #2 screws that are located inside each of the holes where the rubber caps used to be.
  7. The screws vary in depth, therefore you will need a Phillips #2 screwdriver that is around 6 inches in length from the tip to the start of the handle.

  9. Place the device face-down, then lift off the back case with both hands.
  10. The speaker sometimes takes a little effort to remove the speaker back, so we recommend that you give it a couple shakes by placing each hand on the speaker face and the back when shaking.
  11. If you decide to use the shaking method, make sure you're near an immediate surface near you just in case it drops.
