There is a ribbon cable that will still connect the front and back panels once they are pried part.
Use the plastic opening tool to gently pry apart the front and back casing panels. Repeat this at multiple locations around the edge of the device. You should hear the clips that hold the front and back together pop apart.
Once there is a large gap between the from and back casing panels, use your hands to separate the two halves.

Make sure the GPS is laying on a flat surface with the open side showing.
Unscrew the four marked 4.00 mm screws with a T5 torque screwdriver
Be sure to keep track of where you place the screws. A magnetic project mat works great for this.
Gently lift the motherboard off of the plastic casing.
The speaker and battery are still connected to the motherboard so do not pull the motherboard completely away from the casing.

Schritt 6

Set the motherboard down out of the way of the battery.
Using the flat end of the plastic opening tool carefully pry the battery and its adhesive away from the casing.
The adhesive holding the battery down is very strong. Prying the battery up may take some force but go slowly and carefully in order to avoid damaging the battery.
Once most of the adhesive is unstuck from the casing, use your hands to remove the battery completely.
