Introduction
What you need
Step 1
Back Cover
- It is possible to remove the back cover with an iOpener as seen in this guide but it’s a lengthy and difficult procedure. We recommend a heat gun or something similar. The adhesive in the Nexus 6P is extremely sticky and especially the glass and plastic cover on the backside break or bend most of the time whilst doing this repair.
- Use a SIM card eject tool, to pop out and remove the SIM card tray.
- Use an iOpener to loosen the adhesive underneath the small plastic cover at the bottom of the phone.

Hi Derrick,
it isn’t very advisable to buy a spare part, that doesn’t say it’s exactly for the Nexus 6P. It can happen that it doesn’t fit in the bracket for the vibrator in your phone or that it doesn’t work with it. Worst case scenario is, that it’ll cause higher damage to you phone than repair.

I design vibration machines. My vibrator motor is not easy to use. Do you have anything to recommend? Large vibrating motors are not used on mobile phones.
