    • Use the iFixit opening tools or a metal spudger to pry the rubber covers off the back of your Pixelbook.

    • Peel the linings off completely until the back of the Pixelbook looks bare.

    After using the spurger to start lifting the rubber like cover at a corner, a two inch wide paint scrapper proved to be an easy way to continue. Using the scrapper at roughly a 30 degree angle (with respect to the laptop rectangle) allowed progressive lifting of the cover. Ripping of the cover tended to occur if only the narrow spurger was used.

    The narrow rubber foot at the base of the display is supported by bendable metal. Be careful how evenly you remove it as uneven motions will result in a more bent and harder to re-apply piece.

    • Remove the seventeen 3.0mm T5 Torx screws from the bottom panel.

    Just a heads up on “Step 3”: (not sure if maybe mine is a newer model since I just got it about a week ago) But there are only 15 of the T5 Screws on mine… Not 17. There are only 2, instead of 4, screws at the top of the picture (located at the hinge) showing the back where they are all circled.

    I had the same experience as Jeff.

    same, there are only two screws up top, not 4, thus 15 total

    • Remove the yellow 2.0mm screw from the middle of the panel by using the T3 Torx screwdriver to turn the screw counterclockwise.

    For me, these were T4 and not T3 screws (everything labelled T3 was a T4 for me).

Great guide. My headphones broke inside the jack, tried many different techniques to get it out and am now looking to just replace the jack or soundcard. Anyone have any ideas where to source these parts? Looked everywhere, Inc eBay.
