Use a pin to remove the SIM & SD card

-
With the help of a silicone spatula or similar opening tool, press gently into the separation between housing and screen
-
Gently pry the frame away from the screen .
There is no glue used between rear cover and frame.
This is correct. That is why no glue is mentioned in the instructions.
Is something specific you are referring to?

No, I was just surprised that it is just press-fitted:)

Disconnect the rest of all the connectors. (Image shows fingerprint scanner connector already removed)

-
First disconnect the connector for the fingerprint scanner

Then carefully pry the scanner (it is adhered to the board )

Preheating the scanner area with a hair dryer can help
I think the best would be to first disconnect battery just for safety.

T o remove it, gently pry with some pointed tweezers or similar tool
Step missing here. After this step you have to use a heat gun to soften the adhesive on the actual screen to remove it from the frame. But this is a difficult step.
Hi Don, using a heat gun is not necessary at this step because the instruction is for a a complete screen and digitizer exchange. As you say this is a very difficult step, which is out of scope of this instruction.

There are major steps missing between step 14 and step 15. This is not a complete guide on screen replacement.
Hi Don, which steps are you missing between 14 and 15 ? Once all parts are removed from the old display one can try the test fit on the new display.
Watch and pray ,global warming.
