Don't try to remove the screen all the way yet; it's still connected by a flex cable.

With the top of the device facing you, lift the bottom edge of the screen up and away from you like you're opening a book.

Rest the screen upside down before continuing.

Be careful not to strain the flex cable.

During reassembly:

This is a good point to power on your tablet and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your tablet back down completely before you continue working.

If you're using custom-cut adhesives, follow this guide. If you're using double-sided tape, follow this guide.
