Apply heat to the screen(along the red lines), my personal rule is that hot to the touch is the best level of heat in order to weaken the adhesive. (Although not too hot).
I prefer to use a heating pad to heat the screen enough in order to weaken the adhesive. You may also use a hair dryer and focus the heat onto the edges of the device in order to weaken the adhesive.

Pry around the screen's edges as shown. Be careful of parts at the bottom, and under the screen, such as the home button, Wifi attachments, and GPS antennas.
The screen is connected by a ribbon cable about 1/3 of the way up the right edge. Take particular care at that point.
Depending on the nature of the crack in the screen it is likely that the screen will form glass shards. Be careful with your hands and wear gloves if possible.
