    • To soften the adhesive, use a heat gun and heat one edge of the phone for five minutes.

    • Take a Jimmy and slide it under the glass after the adhesive has been softened.

    • Place a pick under the glass after lifting with the pry tool so that the screen won't re-adhere to the frame again.

    • The corners of the screen are the most fragile part of the screen. Make sure that the entire edge of the screen is dislodged from the frame before prying at the corners.

Great article and just one question. “To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.” That’s ok until the screen needs to be glued back so advice on doing that would be appreciated.
