Steps 1-4 are good pre-reqs.

Are all of steps 5-8 absolutely necessary for LCD screen replacement?

Step 9-bullet 3: Change to 'note' rather than bullet point and put it first.

Step 11-bullet 2: List the # of screws to be removed and with what screwdriver. Show 2nd picture of screws to remove on actual LCD door.

Step 11-bullet 3: Change to a "caution" rather than just a bullet. Also we had a spring fall out at this step with no idea where it came from. Perhaps you could address this.

Step 12- We actually had to use a 2nd spudger to pry it apart. One as a wedge and one as a lever to separate.

Step 14-bullet 2: change to a "Warning" symbol.

Seems to be an incomplete guide, as the LCD screen is still affixed to the device.
