You're done! To reassemble, place a new drive in the bracket and follow the steps in the reverse order.
When obtaining a replacement hard drive, be aware that many 2.5" laptop drives, particularly older ones, are too thick (9.5mm) to fit in the X220 drive bay. You need one with a drive height (thickness) of 7mm.

I just hope that a 64 year old crazy cat lady can do this without blowing up the galaxy
Thanks dude.
What size drives will fit?
7mm thick, no more. (I tried with a thicker HyperX 240gb drive but it was too big, wouldn’t fit)
eine feine Anleitung. Bravo!
