You don't have to go to this length to remove the hard drive on a 560Z. Only do steps 0 (remove battery), 9 (remove screw) and 10 (remove cover). Then simply grab the blue tab of the hard drive caddy and pull the drive out of the bay. Complete directions on maintenance of the IBM Thinkpad 560Z can be found here:
http://www.thinkpads.com/support/hmm/hmm...
The Hardware Maintenance Manual has all of the information you need to take a 560Z apart and put it back together.
The procedure outlined here is similar to what the 560, 560E and 560X systems required; the 560Z is totally different when removing the hard drive.
