Not specifically for faceplate changing, but this (W580 LCD replacement I think) gets the front and buttons off for a W580.. the battery cover is self explanatory.... and finally the panel above the battery cover comes off with a little GENTLE prying from where the battery cover meets it....
cheers!

You should give your telephone to service, because you can break it

The disassembly manual for S500 and W580 is on the sony ericsson website. Its easy to change faceplates, but changing the whole housing is a little harder.. you want to have a spare set of screws that hold the housing together because when you remove/adjust them they weaken. its not good to re-use them. be very careful about getting dust or dirt in the phone because it can completely ruin it. if you dont know what your doing, just take it to any repair shop and they will do it for you.

I have a faceplate bought from the faceplate stand and it is really hard to remove it from phone. Trying to remove it made a few damages to the plastic. :(
