Can I change my iPhone battery without iOpener?

Hi,

I bought the repair part (iPhone 7 Plus battery) and the Repair Tools, but when watching the video on how to change the battery it mentions an iOpener, which I didn’t get. I thought if I bought the repair tools with the battery it would give me everything I need. Can I change the battery without it?

The iOpener serves the purpose to mildly warm up the adhesive keeping screen and housing tight, but that gets softer even if you use a hair dryer or anything that brings the screen temperature to warm at touch. Warm doesn’t mean scorching hot so don’t exagerate ;) Once you warm up the screen use the blue guitar pick like tool for separating screen from housing and you should be done, the iOpener helps but it’s indispensable.
