Two 6.2 mm screws

Four 3.4 mm screws

Apply a suction handle to the lower case near the front-center area of the MacBook Pro.

Lift the suction handle to create a slight gap between the lower case and the chassis.

Insert one corner of an opening pick into the space between the lower case and the chassis.

Slide the opening pick around the nearest corner and halfway up the side of the case.

Repeat the previous step on the opposite side, sliding your opening pick under the lower case and up the side to pop the second clip free.

Insert your opening pick once again under the front edge of the lower case, near one of the two centermost screw holes.

Give the pick a firm twist to pop free the third clip securing the lower case to the chassis.

Repeat this procedure near the other of the two centermost screw holes, popping the fourth clip free.

Pull the lower case firmly towards the front of the MacBook (away from the hinge area) to separate the last of the clips securing the lower case.

Disconnect the battery board data cable by sliding it out from its socket.

Slide parallel to the logic board, in the direction of the cable.

Fold the battery board data cable to the side and out of the way.

Use a T5 Torx driver to remove the 3.7 mm pancake screw securing the battery power connector.

Use a spudger to gently lift the battery power connector, disconnecting the battery.

Remove the 2.8 mm T5 Torx screw securing the three coax cables to the main board.

Use an opening pick to lever out the antenna cable assembly in three separate actions.

Insert the opening pick beneath the right side of the antenna cable assembly and lever it out. Pull it out and repeat the procedure in the middle between the two display cables. Repeat once more on the left side of the assembly.

Carefully start removing the antenna cable assembly by pulling it slightly upwards and away from the MacBook.

Remove the antenna cable assembly.

Remove the four 3.9 mm T3 Torx screws securing the spring hinges of the two display cables.

Grab the left side of the display cable assembly and pull it towards the bottom end of the MacBook and away from the spring hinge.

Repeat this step with the right spring hinge of the display cable assembly.

While holding the display with your left hand remove the three T9 Torx screws from the upper display bracket.

Remove the remaining three T9 Torx screws from the lower display bracket.

Grab the display with your left hand and rotate it slightly clockwise, toward the upper case, so the display brackets clear the edge of the upper case.

Pull the display away from the upper case, minding any brackets or cables that may get caught.
