Step 2

  • Insert your opening tool in the seam, starting at the top.
  • You could start at the side or the bottom, but you may find that the shell may be harder to pry apart.
  • If you’re only using an opening tool:
  • Use the tool to undo clips located in these areas.
  • If you’re using both an opening tool and pick:
  • Use the tool to open a gap small enough that you can slide a pick into
  • and slide it around the side to undo clips located in these areas.
  • You may have to switch between the opening tools and picks.
