Break the two warranty stickers by poking a screwdriver through them or peeling them off.
Remove the following twenty screws by rotating the screwdriver counterclockwise:
Eight 16.2mm Phillips #2 screws
Eight 15mm Phillips #2 screws
Four 19.1mm Phillips #2 screws
The holes containing most of the screws are deep and narrow. A screwdriver with interchangable bits will not be able to reach them.
Do not over-tighten the screws during reassembly. Over-tightened screws can crack the plastic channels holding the shell to the frame of the hoverboard.
