Now that you have a start it's a good idea to use some sort of plastic probe as a prying lever. (Two plastic pryer's came with my replacement battery.) Work your way up the length of the iPod towards the top.
Round the corner and finish up the prying process.
Your iPod should easily separate into two halves now. One side will contain the hard drive and the other will contain the battery.
Carefully disconnect the battery power wire from the socket on the motherboard. There is a small blue piece of rubber that surrounds the socket for padding and can be taken out to more easily complete this step.
Are you a cheap do it yourselfer like me? Did your sweet iPod Video's battery take a crap on your face conveniently a month after your 1 year warranty was up? Don't you fret now! You don't have to send your iPod back to Apple and pay the $60 fee for battery replacement.
