-
If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPod's display until the whole face is covered.
-
-
-
Use a hair dryer or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the iPod for about a minute in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.
-
The bottom of the screen (near the home button) is held in place with strong adhesive.
-
As you start prying the screen off in the next stages, you may need to apply more heat to keep the glue warm and flexible.
-
-
-
Hold the iPod firmly against a table or bench.
-
Lift the suction cup up and back toward the top of the iPod. Be patient, and pull with firm, constant force until the adhesive breaks and the display comes up from the rear case.
-
It may be necessary to use a heat gun to soften the adhesive (especially in cooler climates). If you can pry the screen apart, and the adhesive is still sticking and pulling apart like cheese topping on a pizza, you can slide a thin razor blade in and gently cut the adhesive.

-
Insert the plastic opening tool between the frame and the rear case behind the first clip.
-
Rock the tool sideways, to spread the gap behind the clip and separate it from the rear case.
-
This may not free the clip initially, but repeating the procedure for each clip will begin to loosen the piece.

-
Use a plastic opening tool to pry the rubber membrane up from around the home button.

Where's the rest of the guide? How to install the new home button, adhere it, etc. It doesn't appear to replace the actual switch, just the plastic button. Is it expected to fix non-working home buttons, or just make them look good with a new, pretty top?
This is a great disassembly guide, but a poor "Home Button Replacement"guide.
I agree; in most cases the fault won't be the outer button but the dome switch underneath. For that repair the best source I found was here:

There are two very small dome-shaped parts, one of which is rimmed with orange adhesive Kapton tape that make up the dome switch; the lower one goes on first, convex side up. Then the Kapton taped upper dome goes on over that, with the small tabs in the tape aligned left and right when placed over the lower dome. This is a very delicate operation, and requires patience and tools for finely detailed work. I successfully got mine working again, so I can confirm that this repair is possible. The parts can be purchased by using the link provided in the YouTube video. Best of luck!
