This is one of the most delicate parts of the whole guide. Be patient and gentle, so you don't break the bezel or clips. You may have to slide the opening tool or spudger across an area that you've already gone over if the bezel reattaches.
The bezel of the computer screen is held in by both clips and adhesive, so it's slightly more difficult to remove.
Slide your spudger or opening tool along the edges of the frame, starting with the left or right side.
You should hear each side unclip as you slide the opening tool across. After you've detached the sides, slide the opening tool along the top and then finally the bottom.
Slide the opening tool across each side another time just to be safe. It doesn't take much force for the clips on a side to re-attach.
Remove the screen bezel.
