   Thank you very much for this. I thought it was going to be difficult to get into like an apple peripheral. I’m glad to know there is no glue/clips to free first.

   hi can i just use pliers instead of a torx screw because i don’t have to buy it?

   @shadowheart43 the proper tool to use is the torx screwdriver – see more info for where to get a toolkit that contains the tools you need. That said, in this particular case, a pair of pliers could be used for the hard drive mounting screws, but you would a. most likely scratch the screws and b. its very awkward to use a pair of pliers to turn a screw.

   Have you ever opened any other laptops? RETARD this is hella easy compared to freaking HP where you have a hard drive caddy.

   Is the procedure the same for a Mid-2009 15″ MBP?

    The procedure is very close. Check out our YouTube channel for the installation video for your specific machine.
