Mike, it is possible to separate the digitizer and the LCD. But, definitely not easy, you are runnig a great risk of breaking the LCD. You could use and LCD separator machine and it would yield better results. Once separated, you will still have to adhere it together. Unless you have worked with (L)OCA before, it can be a mess and a PITA to get to fit and cure properly. If you have not done this type of repair, I suggest that you replace the whole assembly. It will be cheaper and have a greater chance of success. Hope this helps, good luck.
