I completed this exact job a year or so ago using iFixit's instructions and
they were spot on and
very accurate. Do yourself a favor though and print out the screw guide PDF,
and as you remove
screws attach them to the screwguide printout at each step - this particular
model has dozens of
screws that look the same, are the same thread pattern but may be different in
length by as little
as one or two millimeters - which is enough to make it not go together
properly. So it is vital that
the screws go IN to the same holes they came OUT of.
You will have to remove EVERYTHING including the motherboard to get to the
optical
drive (been there done that), so replacing the HD at the same time is certainly
the most
practial course of action.
