Insert the large iPod opening tool into the seam between the front case and rear panel of the iPod, above the dock connector. The tool's edge should point toward the rear panel to prevent any accidental scratching of the anodized aluminum front case.
-
Insert a small iPod opening tool into the seam on the headphone jack side of the Nano, with the edge of the tool pointing toward the rear panel.
-
Gently enlarge the existing gap by pressing/wiggling the small iPod opening tool into the gap near each of the the two tabs attached to the rear case, pushing the clips toward the center of the Nano until both have been freed.
the tool i bought because you suggested it to me got inevitably broken like it was butter made, thanks
-
Repeat the same procedure listed in the previous step to free the three clips along the hold switch side of the Nano.
-
Insert an iPod opening tool into the gap near the top left corner of the Nano and work to free the three clips along the top edge of the rear panel.
-
After ensuring all tabs are free, separate the two halves of the iPod.
-
The rear panel is now free from the iPod.
-
With the rear case removed, the back side of your Nano should now look like this.
-
Remove the following six screws:
-
One 1.8 mm Phillips.
-
Three 1.9 mm Phillips.
-
One 2.4 mm Phillips.
-
One 2.6 mm Phillips.
-
If your headphone jack isn't working, note that it is possible to replace just the headphone jack here:
There are just 4 soldering points that need to be loosened, and then you can put on the new one.
I was able to remove the back cover using two think plastic guitar picks and my red cross donor card

Using a spudger, flip up the brown click wheel ribbon cable retaining clip.
-
Use the tip of a spudger to slide the click wheel ribbon cable out of its socket.
-
Lift the logic board assembly out of the front case from the click wheel connector side (the cable you just disconnected). Rotate the logic board assembly about the display ribbon cable and lay it next to the front case.
When reassembling the logic board into the case, watch out for the tiny nose of the audio jack that's facing towards the center of the device. This nose has to be inserted first, then the rest of the audio jack followed by the logic board itself.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/251624194311?ssP... some for sale on here that would be great to do this too!
I found removing the back to be very difficult and had to use a mini screwdriver to complete it. While removing the back to replace the clickwheel, I not only destroyed the back, I inadvertently mangled the video cable and so I then had to replace that too.
