This comes in a pretty simple package. A small plastic packet with the battery, 2 prying tools, and a tiny instruction. It took me just about 5 minutes to open the 5th gen iPod, remove old battery, and install the new one. I only needed one of the tools to pry it open. The best place to start is the top corner, twist the tip a little bit, then slide it down, and twist again, slide, until you can open it with your fingers like a clam shell. Most of the time was spent is just for being slow and careful as the leads seams to be very delicate. The most important thing when installing the new one is to make sure that the contact lead is well inserted into the socket. I used a long nose pliers to push it, which at the same time making sure that I am not squeezing it too hard or bending it too much.
The battery looks a tad slimmer. I charged the iPod for 4 hours. Now, I am happy that my iPod is working again.
