Step one
Firstly, turn off, (and unplug,) your device. You should also make sure that you have backed up all of your data.

Disconnect the cable that runs towards the tablet battery.

Unscrew the screws, (four in total,) used to hold the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 battery in place.
Step four
Remove the battery from your device and, set it safely aside.
Step five
Turn the device over and apply heat, (using a hairdryer or a professional heat gun,) to each edge of the broken touchscreen, (so as to loosen the adhesive holding it in place.) Use a flat edged implement to prise the broken touchscreen away from the rest of the device.
Step six
Disconnect the cable that connects the screen to the tablet. Note: set the front (or home) button safely aside.
