Step 18
- DO NOT PULL APART! There is a wire attaching the speaker to the rear case. It is very important to NOT sever this connection. Because of this, the rear case does not completely detach from the rest of the phone.
- Holding the rear case, applying pressure to the back of the phone near the location of the battery in order to separate the two components.
