I just need to replace the front glass on the screen, not the entire screen. Will this guide work to do that?

Don’t think so. This one just replaces everything with the frame. I watched a few other vids on YT on display replacement though, and some involved crushing the glass on the broken display along with the display itself to remove it from the frame, so I can assume it’s very difficult to keep the display intact while removing the glass.
