-
Power down your Mac mini, disconnect all of the cables, and flip it over.
-
Insert the Jimmy into the crack between the aluminum top housing and the plastic lower housing.
-
The Jimmy should reach a stop about 3/8" down.
-
-
-
Gently bend the Jimmy outwards to pry the crack open a little larger and lift the lower housing up a small amount.
-
-
-
-
Once you have the first side free, rotate the Mac mini and start prying up on the front edge.
-
Use the same prying motion to both bend the clips inward and lift the lower housing up out of the top housing.
-
-
-
You may need to move the Jimmy along the edge to pry up all of the clips. Be patient and do a little bit at a time.
-
-
-
Keep working around the perimeter, freeing the clips along the final edge.
-
-
-
Flip the Mac mini back over and lift the top housing off of the lower housing.

those Putty Knifes are:
too smal
too sharp
too expensive.
Better use a 100mm broad Spatula; (opens all the claws in on step)
out of plastic is good enough and cheap.
And use two of them at one time.
No, I didn’t think the Jimmy is expensive or too small.
And the Jimmy didn’t break something so it is the best solution I think!
