[* black] Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and for the bottom of the screen to open.
+[* black] Insert an opening pick under the screen when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.
[* icon_note] If the Anti-Clamp doesn't create a sufficient gap, apply more heat to the area and rotate the handle clockwise half a turn.
[* icon_caution] Don't crank more than a half a turn at a time, and wait one minute between turns. Let the Anti-Clamp and time do the work for you.
