It didnt mention how to open the back cover in the first place? Which is the hardest part and the one that require the most skills and specialized tools.
The article links another article talking about the cover. Both do not cover how to apply the new part, specifically, how to install the new battery in this case. I think vitally important. :) @fabianjung
DO NOT use the jimmy tool or anything metal to scrape the glue off!!! You will scratch and remove the paint on the back cover!
5/10 as a guide IMHO.
Why isn't a replacement adhesive gasket part of the requirements (in addition to the replacement battery)??!
The seal will most likely be severely compromised after being opened.
Update: 7/10. Taking the back off went easily/smoothly after lying on a 3D printer bed (@80C) for about 10mins, then using a hot air gun (@90C) and a metal spudger and plastic picks to gently break the adhesive holding the back to the body.
No issue removing the inside cover and pulling out the battery.
Having a replacement adhesive gasket/tape is a good idea when re-assembling though. The original guide didn't mentioned this.
