I completed this exact job a year or so ago using iFixit's

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.

— I've just searched the ifixit.com pages relating to this work, and  
have been unsuccessful in finding the screw guide Wolfram suggests  
will be helpful. Perhaps ifixit.com no longer makes this handy  
document available. Does anyone have this as a saved file to send to  
me? I can use the screw guides for both the Hard Drive and the Optical  
Drive undertakings.
