You can remove glued-down components in all kinds of ways. One of the simplest is to use a solvent, such as iFixit Adhesive Remover, to dissolve the glue. Follow this guide for general tips and instructions for using adhesive remover on any device.

-
Cover or remove any components that may be vulnerable to damage, in case the solvent drips or leaks somewhere it shouldn't. (A sheet of aluminum foil offers good protection.)
-
If necessary, direct the flow of solvent away from sensitive components by elevating one side of your device.
-
-
-
Now that your device is prepped, it's time to prep yourself.
-
Wear eye protection when handling and applying the adhesive remover. (Eye protection is included in your kit.)
-
Do not wear contact lenses without eye protection.
-
Protective gloves are also included in your kit. If you are concerned about possible skin irritation, put your gloves on now.
I really enjoy your teardowns…unique indeed!…what other ingredient besides acetone does your solvent contain? I am particularly sensitive to a lot of industrial chemicals I normally do a patch test before proceeding … oddly, I am un-reactive to Acetone .
Thanks, and keep up your terrific work!

Pull off the black rubber stopper from your bottle of adhesive remover.
-
Use scissors to cut off the sealed tip of the applicator.
-
-
-
Apply a few drops of adhesive remover evenly along the elevated edge of your glued-down component.
-
-
-
Gently slide a plastic card or other thin pry tool under the adhered component.
-
If you're struggling, apply a few more drops of adhesive remover and wait about a minute before trying again.
-
If your device has an especially tight fit and you have trouble inserting a tool, try working a piece of floss or wire underneath the component, and pull it side-to-side in a sawing motion to separate the adhesive.
-
Lift and separate your newly-unglued component.
-
-
-
Before installing or gluing down any new components, remove any remaining adhesive residue from your device.
-
Peel off larger pieces of adhesive using tweezers or gloved fingers.
-
Scrape away any remaining adhesive with a plastic tool, and clean the underlying areas with adhesive remover or isopropyl alcohol. Wipe in one direction, not back and forth, until all the adhesive residue is gone.
-
When your device is clean and dry, go ahead and install your new part and reassemble your device.

Can I use adhesive remover on glued down flex cables? Like the cable for the Touch ID button on the iPhone 7 Plus. Or will this damage the cable? How about isopropyl alcohol based adhesive remover?
Mild heat and/or a little isopropyl alcohol should do the trick. You don’t need to risk using anything more aggressive than that.
Can I used this to pop open my iPhone 8 Plus?
