If you don't live near a female who will let your borrow her hairdryer, or your parents don't let you play with the stove, but you do have some adhesive remover because your roommate is a knucklehead and likes to miss the trash with his gum, here's an easy trick to get your jewel off.

Items:

* Goo Gone
* Small Flathead Screwdriver

**** This can be done without opening the XBox! ****

1) Apply a liberal amount of Goo Gone to the recessed jewel area, being careful not to spill it over and so the jewel is almost submerged in Goo Gone. Wait 3 mins.

2) Gently squeek the screwdriver down next to the jewel and try to minimally lift up the jewel to allow some Goo Gone to drip under. Leave screwdriver in place and wait a few more mins.

3) Continue around the jewel (left or right, your choice, go crazy) about 75 degrees and repeat step 2.

** The longer you wait, the more adhesive you will undo, but do not attempt to "flip" the jewel by popping it up too fast, it will not hesitate to crack.
** Just be patient and allow the Goo Gone to do it's work.

Sadly, the only drawback is that your XBox is now a tad greasy from the Goo Gone (oil based), I had to grab a few Clorox Wipes and wipe it down a few times to get the oil off.

Now you're ready to follow another Tutorial!
