The best way to remove an iMac screen (2012 through 2020 models)

Hello everyone! Firstly, I would like to apologize for the camera quality - I slapped something together really quick from what I have, and well... There is much room for improvement.
Recently in a few support groups, we have seen quite a few people asking about the right way to remove an iMac screen. Some people say razor blades, playing cards, alcohol, heat, spatulas, more alcohol… So, we got to thinking. Lets make a video on the proper way to do it.

Someone has pointed out how nervous it makes them seeing the weight of the screen on the pizza cutter at the 6:45 mark. This is indeed not a good practice. You mad damage your screen depending on how it is touching the glass. I, for this video, made sure to have the plastic touching the backlight metal plate on the back of the screen assembly, not the glass. That could spell disaster if you are supporting the screen by its glass with one point of contact!

This video is in no way sponsored by iFixIt. I personally like them at the moment, especially their pizza cutter tool for imac screens. At the time of writing this, I do not profit in any way by you purchasing anything from them. That being said, I still happily recommend you pick this up! https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/iM...
