I'm trying to peel back the EMI shield per your guides but it is really sticky. I already have about a 1" tear after only peeling about 1/3 of the way. So, questions:
Is there an easy way to get the adhesive to "release" from the edge?
Can I repair the tear in the shield with electrical tape when I go to reassemble?
Is this a good question?

Electrical tape is non-conductive. Fold a piece of aluminum foil over the tear.. do not attempt to adhere it with anything just pressing it in place prior to reassembly should do the job.
If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it.

I partially resolved the excessive stickiness problem by using a Q-tip moistened with non-acetone nail polish remover. As I peeled up a little edge, I could moisten the next part which allowed it to release more easily. This was as sticky as duct tape.
Advice: Go very slowly, "teasing" up the next part with the Q-tip. There is still plenty of adhesiveness for replacing the shield.
