Advice regarding back glass (cover)replacement

Dear Community!

I managed to save a very good iPhone 11 from ending up in the landfill.

There are only two issues with the phone.

  1. Battery is at 75% which is totally fine, I will replace it.
  2. The back glass is cracked on the top right corner deeply and went all the way down and to the camera area as well.

So, I was looking on Ebay for just the glass. I found numerous sellers who make “unbranded” covers. In addition, I found a special tool set as well that would be needed in order to remove the glass. It looks like a knife and you can change the tips to crack up the glass as I saw on videos. For adhesives and for the camera rings I would buy those from iFixit.

The question towards my community is the following: What should I look out for the procedure? What do you use for an easier removal? I know there is laser solution too but as I am passionately refurbishing and saving electronics I want to do it.

Currently I have the following tools that would help me in the process:

iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit, loads of spudgers, iOpener, heat gun, air blower.

Thank you for Everyone's response!

@mrkovacs if you want to do it, it will be hard. i mean, you can follow guides for ex this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ4217kR... but otherwise then that, you can put on a case, but if it hit the camera, then you could replace it, but its way harder then just the back glass. sorry, i dont really know anything else, im not that good lol

Thank you for your kind answer @wyattd ! In the end I found a reliable shop where they repair back glasses and I sent the frame. I am waiting for it now to arrive back and afterwards the refurbish procedure will continue.
