Remove the seven T8 Torx screws from the lower case.

Using your thumbs, slide the lower case toward the front of the computer.

The lower case may stick in the front on a tab just above the center of the optical drive. Be careful as you work the case off, or you may break the thin strip of plastic just above the drive.

To free the hard drive, remove the two T8 Torx screws from the right wall of the battery housing.
I suspect you are meant to remove the two T8 Torx screws holding down the drive retaining bar on the other side of the hard drive. Once the bar is removed, the drive will pivot out without having to touch the screws on the battery housing wall side.
I agree with John Hagen. The correct way to remove the hard drive is to remove the two T8 Torx screws and drive retaining bar, then lifting the hard drive up on the side by the optical drive . This will prevent a lot of frustration, and potential damage to the plastic shield underneath the hard drive and the rubber bumpers over the hard drive screws.
Yes, this is totally better than removing the hard drive screw on the left side of the hard drive as instructed.

Remove the hard drive by lifting the left edge up and out of the computer.
The hard drive can be removed with its bumpers intact, by just taking off the black plastic clamp to its right. Reinserting the drive is also vastly easier when done this way.
