Heat an iOpener and thread it through the arms of the Anti-Clamp so it lays on the right edge of the phone.

You can also use a hair dryer or heat gun—but extreme heat can damage the display and/or internal battery, so proceed with care.

Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.

Insert an opening pick under the screen frame when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.

If the Anti-Clamp doesn't create a sufficient gap, apply more heat to the area and rotate the handle clockwise half a turn.

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.

Skip the next two steps.
