Gently lift the rear panel using your fingers.

The front and back of the iPod should now be completely separated.

The gold antenna (third picture) can easily fall out from its housing. Make sure that the antenna is securely in place before closing the iPod.

The battery is glued to the iPod's display, but no screws hold it in place.

Flip the iPod 180 degrees so it matches the orientation in the picture.

Carefully insert the spudger in between the battery and the display. There are routing cables underneath, so make sure you slowly pry the battery loose.

Use a spudger (or your fingernails) to remove the gold antenna. The antenna bends easily, so make sure not to apply too much pressure.

Use the spudger to remove the connector on the left side.

Remove two Phillips screws.
