  • Remove HD, Superdrive and motherboard. Follow the excellent iFixit guides to remove these items.

  • To remove motherboard (a little tricky), I followed this excellent guide - http://www.btobey.com/learn/imac-ssd-ins...

  • Not mentioned in the guide is that you have to remove the IR sitting in back of the front Apple logo before you can remove the motherboard.
