Step 3

Gently slide the blue opening pick between the rear cover and the metal casing.
The rear cover is extremely fragile. Be very delicate when using the opening pick.
Work your way entirely around the rear cover.
It may take several attempts of reheating the adhesive to get the rear cover loose enough to pull off.

Step 4

Once the adhesive has been successfully loosened, gently pull the rear cover off.

Step 5 O-Ring
