The Moto Z 5.5-inch AMOLED display is glued on solidly and is a tight fit within the frame. Apply heat to soften the adhesive.
With the precision knife carefully create separation and insert a triangle opening tool to start slicing through the adhesive.
Take your time and apply additional heat as needed.
When attacking the adhesive, be mindful of the fingerprint reader.
The Motorola Moto Z screen is still connected to the motherboard. Do not try to remove it completely, or you will damage the data cable connecting the display to the middle of the phone.

Remove the following 4 T4 Torx screws.
Lift out the Moto Z Droid Earpiece Speaker.

You'd probably have better luck just buying a cheap dead Moto Z Droid from somewhere like eBay or Swappa's Bone yard.

[@EzrealLux]

[@erasmovillarreal7669]

how much does the display cost bro?? :v

[@samuelc7852]

Erasmo Villarreal the one on iFixez was $144 without the tape or tool set or heat gun

[@MikeTrieu]

That's a bit rich. Should be closer to $100.

[@YukiKawaiUltimatum]

$100 on ebay.
