Removing the Heatsink

Use your hand to unplug the fan cable for the heatsink.
Using your hand, gently pull the heatsink away from the display (towards the trackpad) enough to move it up.
This process should not require an exhuberant amount of force, if there is any tension- inspect for any cables or screws impeding you.
