Lay the iMac display-side down on a flat surface (putting a cloth under the screen to protect it from bumps).
Loosen the three Phillips screws securing the rear panel to the iMac.
These screws are captive in the iMac. The center screw will stop turning after about 3.5 turns and the outer screws will stop turning after about 5.5 turns. Do not try to remove these screws from your iMac.

Some models (with light sensor) have only the two outboard screws.

Same here. No torx. Very easy to do. Not a moderate difficulty at all. As long as you don't rush anything and ease the electronics out. Did I say ease? I meant "tease." Tease the connectors out. Slow and steady. Easy as pie.

手順4

The following action is optional. If you skip this step, be very careful not to strain the thermal sensor cable as you disconnect the hard drive cables and transfer this bracket to your new hard drive.
Lift the hard drive slightly and disconnect the hard drive thermal sensor connector.

I broke mine trying to disconnect it. It was very fragile. Better to just skip disconnecting it. Leave it connected to the hard drive bracket, and unscrew the bracket from the hard drive. Then screw the bracket to the new hard drive.

Perfect! I didn't disconnect it and the cable had plenty of slack! Great job!

手順5

Insert the flat end of a spudger into the gap between the SATA data connector and the hard drive.
Twist the spudger to separate the SATA data connector from the hard drive, then disconnect it from the hard drive.
Repeat this process for the SATA power connector.
