If you are going to replace the battery, the next step is to heat the back glass, which allows the phone to be opened like a book and removing a few more screws frees the back panel completely from the phone.
By the way, Apple is charging a cool $159 to replace the back glass panel. A replacement battery will cost you $99, but that drops to $51 if you send your old battery back to Apple. If you want to replace the screen, be prepared to spend $329. Other component costs include $199 for the front-facing camera and Face ID sensor, $169 for the dual rear cameras, $67 for the earpiece and 5G mmWave antenna, and $67.08 for the Taptic Engine.
