You will see orange when you have the hold in the correct position. Using 1 soft tool wedge it into the side of the iPod. It is preferred to stay away from the hold switch and the headphone jack. Using a side to side motion, loosen the iPod while gently prying up and down. It will be held in place with adhesive and will require some pressure to remove it. Try to apply the pressure at the end away from the hold switch first! Removing the 2 top screws Use the Phillips head screw driver to remove these screws. Apply plenty of pressure or you may end up with a stripped screw and then you will have to get a screw out set (Craftsman makes a good one available at Sears!). Removing the bottom bezel Use the same method as you used for the top. It will come off with some work! Here you see we pry up on the end until we can loosen it free from the adhesive.

Remove the two screws from the bottom Removing the Headphone Plug Slide a flat tool under this plug and begin to slide it out. Be careful b/c it is still attached to the logic board at this point.
