Step 3

Put on heat-resistant gloves and place the phone on a surface that will not catch fire or melt.
Using a heat gun, apply slow and even heat to the edges of the back panel.
DO NOT stay on one spot for too long, the heat gun can damage the phone if the heat is applied to the same area for a long period of time.
While heating the back panel, use a Jimmy to test if the adhesive is soft enough to allow the panel to separate from the device.
Carefully detach the back panel, using opening picks to hold the panel apart from the device.
Once most of the edges are separated from the device, attach a suction cup to the back panel.

With the help of the suction cup, pull up on the panel to completely detach it from the device.
Use the suction cup to safely remove the panel from the device. As you work around the panel’s edges, the lingering heat may cause the remaining adhesive to reattach the panel to the device, be sure to lift the back panel before the glue has time to set back.
