| [* black] Once all of the screws are removed we are almost ready to remove the keyboard. We ***DO NOT*** want to bend the top case in any way shape or form, so we will ***FIRMLY STAND*** on the edges to prevent it lifting or moving as this could bend or deform the case which of course we do not want to happen. | |
| - | [* black] It is ***STRONGLY*** advised to to put on a thick strong pair of gloves so we can first lift up the edge of the keyboard and gently bend it back enough to get a good strong grip on it. The edges of the Keyboard are ***VERY SHARP*** so ***EXTRA*** caution is required. |
| - | [* black] ''You can alternatively just use an old rag or a thick strong cloth to protect against potentially severe cuts to the fingers while removing the keyboard'' |
| - | [* black] * It is a good idea also to remove as many key caps as possible including their fixtures beforehand as it is always good to have some spares of these. |

| + | [* black] * It is a good idea also to remove as many key caps as possible including their fixtures beforehand as it is always good to have some spares of these, especially if you are into repairing apple laptops or just in case your new keyboard suffers a damaged key in the future. |
| + | [* black] ''* You can put a sheet of paper under the laptop to help prevent any scratches, do not use a cloth or rag as this will allow some flex during the violent pulling of the keyboard.'' |
| [* black] Once you are set, get a ***TIGHT FIRM GRIP*** and just count to three.... 1-2-3 & ***RIP IT OUT*** in one go as fast as you can. Keys and rivets will fly everywhere so be prepared! The slower you do it the more chance there is of bending the casing or injury. Again, the edge of the keyboard is ***VERY SHARP*** and shows no mercy to hands & fingers. | |
| + | [* black] ''Try not to pull upwards to much, instead pull at a level to the keyboard, as this will reduce upward stress on the case.'' |
