  • Squeeze the two optical drive bracket ears together while pulling the drive up toward yourself.

  • It may be helpful to hold the logic board down near the optical drive connector when pulling the drive toward yourself to avoid both components lifting together.

  • Pull the optical drive away from the side of the rear case and remove it from the iMac.

  • If your optical drive is particularly stubborn to remove, try the method used in the optical drive guide from the A1144 G5 iMac.
