Today I'm replacing the click wheel and the front and back plate. In this video I show a full breakdown of the entire job of what is entailed in modding a generation 6 IPOD classic. This particular model is the model that is capped at installing 128gb. A true gen 7 is uncapped even though both models are considered a gen 7, people call this a gen 6 due to the firmware capping of the storage space. In this video you'll see a total disassemble of the IPOD which will teach you how to modify your own IPOD.
