There are seven interlocking retaining clips on each side of the iPod. The large plastic opening tool will be used to separate the front panel from the metal back of the iPod.

Insert the large opening tool into the right side of the iPod, with the edge of the tool pointing towards the metal back.

Gently enlarge the existing crevice by wiggling the large opening tool and moving it to the right.

Continue doing so until the right side of the iPod is loose.
