Cameron Fairlie  yes you can but it will take you longer. You will really have to make sure that the borders of the screen are nicely heated up so take your time with the hairdryer to move along those edges. You may have to do smaller areas and consistently move the hair dryer back and forth along that area.

What guide would I use for that. The one on iFixit looks like it's missing steps

@Cameron Fairlie Usually an old credit card, business card (if you have one) a guitar pick are all options to safely slice around the adhesive.
