All went pretty well although I didn't know I needed a special tool to back out the logic board.

I used two wooden skewers as my Logic Board Removal Tool. I used my pocket knife to narrow down the ends. Wood was less abrasive than using a small screwdriver. Also, the guide only covers the removal of one hard drive (the bottom bay). To remove the second drive, you'll have to go ahead and remove the board entirely to gain access.
