Three Pentalobe screws secure the battery to the upper case. They can be removed with this special driver.
Unfortunately, when I added a second hard drive via these instructions, all went well but Bluetooth is now MIA. Can anyone help?
I agree...
I have bought a used MacBook Pro, when problems arise, opening Corps was trying to turn the screw, but with poor quality could not turn a screwdriver, only to ruin the screw. Try to buy ifixit Screwdriver set. Good luck to all and thank you ifixit team for such assistance as ifixit.com. Thank you.

The guide states you must remove the battery in order to replace the hard drive. This is incorrect- it is merely a safety precaution. If you do not have the specific pentalobe screwdriver, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS. I just replaced a hard-drive in one of these macs, that someone had already stripped the screw head. The screws are tapered too, so no getting it out once stripped.
The battery does not interfere with this repair, so simply remove the two screws on the hard-drive bracket (step 8), replace the drive then put the mac back together.
If you have problems when installing Mavericks after the battery has been removed maybe your Mac has the wrong date and time.
In Mavericks installscreen, start the terminal, type "date" and enter...if the wrong date is displayed type:
date {month}{day}{hour}{minute}{year}
Every bracket should be replaced with a two-digit number. For example, March 18th 2013 12:50 would become the following command:
date 0318125013 + enter
Thanks for the guide. I honestly feel like I got a new Mac. I installed one of iFixit's hybrid 1TB SSD (SSD with backing HD). My Mac was unusable and painful to use it was so slow. Now it's like brand new.
Removing the battery connector was hard to do with finger force alone, I had to entice it with a flat head screw driver. Getting the full iFixIt toolkit gives you all of the tools except the spudger which really could be improvised with something else.
As always, an excellent description and exact visualization of the work steps - Thank you!
