    • Do not yank the upper case off quickly. The case is attached to the logic board via a ribbon cable.

    • Lift up the back of the case and work your fingers along the sides, freeing the case as you go. Once you have freed the sides, you may need to rock the case up and down to free the front of the upper case.

    • Disconnect the display data cable and right fan cable from the logic board.

    • If you have a MacBook Pro 17" Model A1229 or A1212, the connectors have different compositions and are highlighted in the second picture.

    • For models A1229 and/or A1212, carefully wedge the flat end of a spudger underneath the right fan cable to pry it up off its socket. Failure to do so may result in the whole socket coming off the motherboard instead of just the cable.

Easy job, super guide, vacuum the the cooling grill when fan is out, changed both fans, because one fan got very loud, it's a 2007 Mac book Pro, so no reason not to change both, went from 6000 rpm to 3000 rpm, nice, big thanx to ifixit…

-thanks for the tips and prompt delivery to Canada from ifixit.com...took me 5 minutes. Use a tweezer with one hand as I did in the video ( http://goo.gl/3EZ5N5)

-recommend placing he mac on a soft towel to prevent scratches.

-Use precision screwdrivers (http://goo.gl/qRK4IF)

-use a compressed air canister to clean surrounding areas

Works like a charm now...
