I would advise against using a metal spudger to remove the battery itself. While working at a device repair chain in the past, a coworker of mine punctured a battery with a metal spudger and destroyed the phone. Instead, use a sturdy plastic spudger to remove the battery. Otherwise, great guide!

Would using the Anti-clamp with heat gun be better option?
