To access the fingerprint sensor, we need to remove the back cover.
-
First, use a T3 Screwdriver, and take out all 9 screws. (roughly 2.2mm Torx)

-
Using the spudger, carefully lift up the sensor cable to disconnect the fingerprint sensor from the logic board.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
I am finding it extremely difficult to find an insertion point between the casing and the screen. I've even brought a Stanley No. 199 Utility knife into play. Still, no separation. These instructions should include the use of a heat gun to soften the adhesive that holds the case and screen together. I may have to bring this to a cell phone repair shop.

Light heat with a blowdryer/heatgun will help it flex more, but you can do it this way. It's definitely challenging as you have to pull on the suction cup close to the edge and you might only get like .5mm of gap.
If you don't have a good spudger or thin piicks like in the picture, heat gun is absolutely necessary.

One thing to note: be careful with a spudger or prying near the right side of the phone. A small wire runs from top to bottom of the phone about 5mm past the phone edge. You can see it in the pictures, it's a black wire that's very tiny. It's easy to see in Step 7 where it connects to the board above the right corner of the battery.
