It's held in by about 30 TINY TINY screws, and you have to remove the logic board to get to it. I've done this on a 2009 model and it's not a very fun job!

I'd strongly recommend buying the top case housing including the keyboard, fitting that is tough enough but much easier than replacing keyboard part on its own. Having done both!
