Man Andrew, you are a “monster” all the stuff I want to do, you’ve done. Thanks for the guide. I replaced my 750gB HDD with a 1tB SSD. So much faster. Thanks ifixit (and Andrew)!!
As long as I had the machine open for the battery, made sense to replace the fans. I had forgot how quite my MacBook Pro was, until I put the new fans in. Thanks ifixit!!
