Sidekick II Outer Casing Replacement

Use the plastic opening tool to remove the 4 buttons on each corner of the Sidekick.

Gently pry open button and remove button.

Do this for each of the 3 buttons remaining.

The bumpers on the top and bottom of the phone can be removed by simply "peeling" them off.

Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the 4 screws that are underneath the 4 buttons you removed in step one.

Flip the screen up halfway (90 degrees), to reveal the 2 screws above the right side of the keyboard.

Use the Torx 6 screwdriver to remove these 2 screws.

After removing the 6 screws and both bumpers, the phone will be easy to separate into the two main bodies.

You can use your hands to simply pull apart the top casing from the bottom casing.
