Step 2

Use iFixit opening picks to wedge under the edge of the screen at the speaker port.
This may take significant force. A fingernail might work better for the initial lift
If you push straight down near the edge you will go through the speaker mesh and possibly end up damaging your speaker; try to push the pick in at a shallow angle.
