    • Power off your GPS before moving on.

    • Wedge a nylon spudger into the crevice to begin to dislodge it from the body.

    • When working with electronics, it's important to choose a tool that's ESD-safe to avoid accidental damage to the device. The metal spudger is great when you need serious prying power, but the regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool should be used whenever possible.

    • Slide the tool around the perimeter to fully dislodge the speaker.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
