Good guide, but one caveat - when removing the battery, the adhesive is pretty much directly attached to the NFC "plate" (a flexible square membrane with a pair of contacts on the bottom left side of the battery). If you try to extract the battery, you will have difficulty not destroying this membrane. Do not use a wedge - you must slowly remove the battery, preferably using a heat gun to loosen the glue.
Or get a battery already glued into a back plate.
