Now support the glass with a hand because you don't want to rely on the suction cap alone and there's no replacement in case you break the glass.
The glass is held in place by a couple of magnets on the frame so at first it will be little stubborn before getting off quite easily. It doesn't really matter where you apply it and begin to pull, yet I recommend doing so near a corner.
I used the suction cap of my cell phone's car mount and it worked just fine. Figuring out how to get started took the longest, but after a hearty attempt with the suction cap it proved to be the right way to go. Any directions I give (such as top-left) are based on the assumption that you have your Mac like this in front of you.
This is the best and most comfortable way to work on it during the whole procedure except for removing and attaching the frame. Put the computer down and have it facing you top down as well, the screen turned up (see picture). * some music to keep you entertained Got everything ready? Then let's go! * Thermal compound if you have some around. * cleaning utilities such as a compressed gas duster, Windex & paper towels. OPTIONALLY have handy * a marker to mark some connectors. It took me 90 mins with talking all the photos and probably would take me 15 to 20 minutes without. * A clean table, ideally with a soft pad to work on. * A standard screwdriver (slot or Phillips, both will work) to use once or twice. * (Something with) a suction cap, the bigger the better. * A torx 8 (T8) screwdriver you will use A LOT.
I chose the largest one at the time of writing, a Western Digital Caviar Green with 2000 GB capacity. ESSENTIALLY you need * A new 3.5-inch S-ATA hard drive. But as was I was working on it I only needed one. When I was examining the case I thought I needed an awful lot of different screwdriver-bits and went to the nearest hardware store to get me a big set.
