Let your Pixel's battery drain below 25% before starting this repair. A charged lithium‑ion battery may catch fire if damaged.
Unplug all cables and completely power down your phone.

Adhesive secures the perimeter of the rear cover to the frame.
When separating the adhesive, don't insert your tool more than 3 mm under the rear cover to avoid damaging the internal components.
Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark your opening pick with a permanent marker. Alternatively, you can tape a coin to a pick 3 mm from the tip.
