Title
How to Remove the factory feet from a Mac Laptop
Introduction
While foot replacement does not need to be done in a set, many modern 3rd party replacements are now rubberized, which will make the laptop non-slip. If you want to change all of the feet out in a pair to have a fully non-slip notebook or to ensure the issue is unlikely to come back as the old feet are still prone to failing, this guide will show you how to break the remaining feet and move to a fresh set.
== Guide notes ==
* '''''Once the foot is broken, there is no way back. Be sure you want to do this before removing surviving feet!'''''
* '''''While bottom panel damage is unlikely if done with caution, it can happen if you work over an edge.''''' Place the bottom on a flat surface when you break the remaining feet to avoid damaging the bottom. The original feet are generally brittle enough it is not hard to do this.
* '''''Once the foot is broken and unusable, it must be replaced.''''' Make sure you have a set of four available for this procedure if you do not want to keep the originals.
