    • Use a Tri-point Y00 screwdriver to remove the four 4.0 mm-long screws securing the back cover.

    The y000 screw driver is not right. Tip is too long and doesn't engage screw correctly causing them to strip

    I found I needed to use a Y00 screw for this.

    Confirmed the Y00 is what you need for this step.

    • Insert an opening tool into the seam between the back cover and the metal housing.

    • Twist the opening tool to create a gap.

    • Don't try to remove the back cover all the way yet. The sensor flex cable is still connected to the motherboard.

    I suggest to work the plastic pry tool between one of the pairs of spurs that hold the wrist bands on. It worked much more easily for me than working at either side of the watch. ~Rufus T. Montgomery
