- Insert the plastic opening tool in the seam of the smartphone to create separation between the loudspeaker and the phone. You can now carefully remove the loudspeaker from the LG G3.
- Next, use the pry tool or spudger to separate the rear housing/frame from the smartphone?s display assembly. Work your way around the perimeter of the handset until all of the clips have been released and the rear housing/frame is removed from the G3.

Display Assembly (LCD and Touch Screen Digitizer)

Separating the display assembly from the frame is only recommended if the G3 has a CRACKED or DAMAGED screen that needs to be replaced..
- Use the heat gun or a blow drier to soften the adhesive securing the display assembly to the frame/bezel of the LG G3.
- To separate the display assembly from the frame/front housing, utilize one of the screwdrivers, and through the front-facing camera hole carefully push the damaged display assembly away from the LG G3?s frame.
