When reassembling don't forget to scrape off the old thermal paste and apply a new dose. The iFixit guide is good, but I was too cheap/impatient to follow those instructions. Instead I used a q-tip to swab rubbing alcohol on the heat sink and chip tops. Then I put on a dab of leftover heat sink paste that came with a CPU cooler for my PC.
