If just removing the rear camera it is not necessary to remove the LCD from the assembly. simply unscrew the one screw located on the left side of the motherboard and disconnect flex cables with a plastic spudger, keeping in mind the two connections underneath the board where the LCD connects. You run less risk of damage to the display this way.

if you only have the glass broken you *MIGHT* be able to just replace the glass cover but there is a huge risk of glass and dust contamination ruining the camera anyways. I personally had this happen after replacing the glass cover and now have black splotches all over even after I tried my damnest to control for dust.
