Slide an opening pick underneath the home button cable to separate it from the front panel.

Gently slide it forward to cut through the adhesive securing the home button cable to the front panel.

If the adhesive is stubborn, don't force the pick. Lightly heat the home button cable using an iOpener or a hair dryer to soften the adhesive.

Continue sliding the opening pick until you reach the home button bracket.
