For suction cups I went to Halfords and bought some little suction cups that are used to hold on L plates…. they work fine for taking the glass off and accessing the multitude of screws that hold the thing together…
I don't know how SAM does it but I tape the screws next to each hole otherwise I end up fitting the wrong size screws into the wrong holes, and this is disastrous as you could end up cracking the glass when you replace it if the screws are not exactly flush! I speak from experience I am embarrassed to admit LOL Ray On 22 May 2012, at 22:51, Sam - MacAmbulance wrote: > Hi John > > If your iMac's glass has an aluminium border around the edge of the display, > replacing the drive's easy.
