Step 16
You may meet some resistance near the center of the iPod as there is a mild adhesive used to help hold the two pieces together.
Lift the framework (including the attached screen, logic board, and click wheel) away from the front panel.
Make sure that the click wheel button is in place before reinstalling the framework in the front panel.
Step 17
The front panel is now free of the iPod.
Step 18 — Display
Use a spudger to flip up the gray or black plastic tab holding the orange display ribbon in place. The tab will rotate up 90 degrees towards the display, releasing the ribbon cable.
