Removing the back cover is a little difficult because the Nokia Lumia 525 does not have a disassembly slot. We need to use a fingernail or a professional tool to pry up the back cover.

After removing the back cover, you can see the battery, MicroSIM slot, MicroSD slot, and eight screws.

Lumia 525 has a 3.7v, 5.3wh, 1430mah Li-ion battery, and the model is BL-5J.

Remove eight screws securing the middle frame.

Pry up the middle frame with a pry bar.

It should be noted that there are ten snaps on the middle frame. Be careful, do not damage the snaps.

Lumia 525 internal structure is very simple, in addition to the bottom of the built-in speaker. It has no other parts.

We can see the rear camera, MicroSIM card slot, and MicroSD card slot more clearly. Other parts are covered by metal shields. The metal shield is welded on the motherboard, so it cannot be disassembled.
