bikerjodie, the LCD and the digitizer/glass are fused together. Yes, some people separate those with something called an LCD Separator. Then you have to deal with getting the right adhesive to glue the LCD and the glass back together, and you will most likely need a UV source to cure that adhesive. By the time you are done buying the equipment, hoping that you get it apart properly, and more importantly, fusing it back together, the cost will exceed the cost for a complete assembly. I suggest you go with a complete assembly, and use something like [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AxFvJ99EuI|this video] for a guide. Hope this helps, good luck.
