Introduction
In order to remove other parts of your device, you will need to remove the back assembly. You may also need to replace the back panel if it damaged. This guide will show you how to remove the back assembly of your Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra. A heat gun or hairdryer is needed to loosen the adhesive to open the back panel, which can become hot and potentially damage the phone. A suction cup and opening tools will be needed to pry off the cover.
What you need
-
-
Wedge your finger under the bottom ridge of the SD card insert.
-
Pull outwards with your fingers to remove the SD card from the left side of device.
-
-
-
Use a hair dryer to heat each corner of the phone.
-
Alternate heating each corner for a minute to loosen the adhesive binding the back cover to the phone.
Consider saying “loosen” instead of “soften” so that steps 2 and 3 use the same terms. Somebody may not know that heating the glue will loosen it, and so they will be confused reading “once the adhesive is loosened” in step 3.

What kind of adhesive should be used when reassembling the phone?
How do you remove it? (Seems obvious but write for any audience, and say how to do things instead of just what to do)
