Successfully installed a WD 6TB Blue. There were two tools that I found very helpful beyond the iFixIt kit that I have. One is called a “seam ripper”. Ask your Mom because I’ll bet she has one in her sewing kit. It was instrumental in removing cable bundles 2 & 3. I also had a long-handled pair of Hemostats aka, “roach clip”. Those were helpful in maneuvering the rubber chocks that fit the bottom of the new drive you are installing.

One last thing, take your time when you’re trimming the rubber chocks top and bottom. Those are the shock absorbers for the hard drive and if they do not perfectly fit the new HD, you will be packing 12 lbs od sausage into a 6lb skin.

I just want to also thank Cascade and the other contributors for all the tips and nuances of this fix.

FYI

Not to disparage commerce for the good people of iFixit but check this link before you take the plunge to repair your 13” MacBook Pro Model A1706. It might qualify for a free repair.

Happy trails or whatever you’re on.

I installed (12/12/16) a Western Digital 3TB AV 3.5" 64MB WD30PURX (purple surveillance HD) successfully. $106.99 at B&H in NYC. Special thanks to Ray Haverfield for guiding me in on that purchase. He's an expert system when it comes to Time Capsules. Hails from Australia. His site: https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenag....

I used a block to lean the cover on so it didn't fall completely flat on the surface. The wire connecting the fan is too short for that.
