Insert one point of a pair of pointed tweezers into a gap in the corner of the EMI shield covering the heat sink.
-
Use the tweezers to pry the EMI shield away from the motherboard as much as you can without bending it. Do not remove it yet.
Black spudger worked best to get the emu shields out without damaging them.
-
-
-
Repeat the last step for each corner of the EMI shield covering the heat sink.
-
-
-
Remove the nine Torx screws securing the heat sink:
-
Five 2.6 mm-long T3 screws
-
Four 3.3 mm-long T5 screws
-
Screw 1
-
Screw 2
-
Screw 3
-
Screw 4
Just like to add, on my i7, there is a fan in the top left corner and the heat sink is glued to the cover. The cover must be removed using a ph0 x 3 and one T3 (I think that is the sizes)
As the other person commented, mine also had a fan connected to the heatsink. This is present in the version with an Intel Core i7-7660U. It requires removing a T3 and T5 screw and the fan connector. Below is a link to an image showing this step.
While I do not have the fan present in my i5 version, the copper heat pipe does extend further down on the far left side (as oriented in the picture). There is an additional T3 screw on this arm as well as a small dab of adhesive on the very end.
My i5 surface pro 5 has 6 of the T3 screws as the heat sink extends slightly further down.
