First, use a fine-point screwdriver to remove all the screws from the bottom case and take it off. Then, disconnect the battery, hard drive, and any other components. Carefully unhook the keyboard and trackpad ribbon cables to access the internals.
You're gonna need a Philips #00 screwdriver and a spludger. Start by removing all the screws on the back and then just work your way inside.
Just get a pro to do it unless you're ready for a headache and possible heartbreak.
I did it once: start with removing the battery, then unscrew everything you can see. Be gentle with those ribbon cables!
