Turn the iPod over and peel the orange click wheel ground tab up from the metal framework.

Be sure to detach only the thin ground tab, not the wider click wheel ribbon.

Carefully push the logic board away from the metal framework. Use the squares as indicators of where to push. The logic board is secured to the framework with mild adhesive; be careful not to bend the logic board by pushing too much in any one spot.

The framework should now be free from the rest of the iPod.
