Using a heating pad or heating gun, heat the edges of the screen to soften the glue. This area extends roughly one inch from the edge of the device.

Using a plastic opening tool and a suction cup as needed for leverage, gently insert one edge of the opening tool under the corner of the screen.

Slowly work the tool around the entire edge of the screen.

Allow the glue to cool before letting it come into contact with any other surface.

Make sure that the front-facing camera is completely disconnected, and then remove the plastic bracket.

Remove the left and right brackets; the left has 16 screws and the right has 15 screws.

Once the brackets are removed, set them aside.
