Loosen the two Phillips screws securing the access door to your iMac.
-
Remove the access door.

To lift the front bezel off the iMac, simultaneously:
-
Use your thumbs to press in the RAM arms and hold the iMac down.
-
Use your index fingers to pull the small bridge of material on the front bezel toward yourself.
-
Pull the front bezel up with your index fingers.
-
Once the small bridge of material has cleared the RAM arms, lift the front bezel by its lower edge just enough to clear the bottom edge of the rear case.
My iMac did not have the "small bridge of material" mentioned, however the bezel just lifted off easily.

Disconnect the microphone cable.
-
Disconnect the camera cable by pulling its connector away from the socket on the camera board.
I agree that for a simple, quick battery change, don't risk damaging those delicate wires. Ignore Step 6 and instead of disconnecting the mic and camera wires, keep them in place and just have a friend hold the plastic frame up while you change the battery, or prop it up as mentioned by Stefano C above.
Make sure you double check the new logic board for the presence of the GPU assembly before installing. I stupidly installed a new board without moving the GPU from the old one first. So i guess you can say this guide worked for me twice. :)

Remove the two T6 Torx screws securing the display data cable to the logic board.
Wait, we need a T6 screwdriver as well?
I purchased the T8 and T10 from your site as per the parts list above and now am here with an opened iMac on the dining room table unable to continue :/

Remove the eight T8 Torx screws securing the display assembly to the rear case.
It would be useful to use a torx screw driver with a long, narrow shank… some of these screws are in tight places.
It may also be useful to prop up the back so it is level. This will prevent the screws from falling inside. They can be retrieved once the scene is off.

Peel the strip of foam tape off the top edge of the CPU/GPU heat sink framework.

I didn't do steps 8-10 and it still worked great.

The guide does not state you need a T6 until you get to the part where you need to remove the display. Please fix that.
Went pretty well… replaced the power supply and it started up on the first try after being idle for 5 years
