Battery adhesive not budging

I'm trying to get the old battery out of my 7 Pro, but not matter what i do, the battery remains adhered.

I tried using the plastic tab for 20 minutes, reheating and such, but the top bit of adhesive refused to break

I've used a dropper to get Isop. Alcohol in, but that hasn't helped either

Is this a good question?

Eventually I got it free

I managed to get an opening pick behind the top left, corner, then it was just a process of heating the back, pulling the battery while pushing the pick further in, eventually getting a second pick in, a couple more cycles, and the battery could be pulled free with LOTS of strength

I did do some damage to the old battery, so keep that in mind

Try to used a lighter fluid or use some tools like electric drill and make it spin trough the adhesive because when the adhesive got hold in the tip of the drill and get rid of it you can easily remove the battery, don't used to much heat it can damage the other parts of the phone,.

Not on the battery, but rather for the adhesive that is visible in each side, don't try to used it into the battery because it will be damage the battery.
