TrickerZ is on a distinguished road
I wouldn't say almost impossible (since I did it by myself), but it can get quite frustrating trying to pull the back housing off and trying to push in the tabs that hold the connectors in at the same time. You need to keep tension on the housing or the tabs just slide back into place. Definitely take your time and make sure you understand everything before doing it. Also, I would pour a little goo gone or some sort of adhesive remover into the seam of where the LCD ribbon connects with the PCB after removing the 4 screws holding the LCD housing. That way, when you pull out the LCD, it should come off cleanly instead of ripping all the traces off. They do sell a new ribbon for ~$40 that you can get on ebay in case yours is trashed.
