the tear down is on you tube, but the battery removal from the face is done by using thin sheets of plastic sprayed with a liquid which is not identified in the video, it looks like water but may not be something electrically non-conductive does anyone have a clue to this liquid please ?. thank you.

@beng0plo looks like its needed to loosen the adhesive strips. This iFixit Adhesive Remover an some of those Plastic Cards should work perfect for this.
