In the following steps, you will separate the display assembly from the Moto Z Play's chassis.

For reference, refer to the first image, showing the back of the display assembly (right) after it has been removed from the phone (left).

If you plan to re-use the display assembly, pay particular attention to the side edges. When slicing through the glue in this area, you must be careful to insert your tool less than 2 mm, or your tool will come in contact with the display panel and damage it.

Playing cards are a safer, but much slower, prying tool. The soft paper cards are less likely to damage the display panel, which is good news if you plan to reuse it.
