Why not just take apart the phone until you get to the battery. And use a heat gun (or hairdryer) and a plastic pry tool to get it out and replace it? I'm sure there are parts online somewhere.
Companies like Google have their adhesive as little pull tabs so it's easier to take off for this reason (at least that's why I think they have it)
