Liz - would you post a link to your pic here so we can see it even though it's not approved yet?

Exactly as Eric said.

I hope someone will document the missing step 17.5 of what it looks like if you separate the halves without having all the parts fall out.

What does it look like and where do they go? Kinda' important for reassembly.

The part on mine that was broken is the plastic cap/nut that connects the black hose to the canister holder.

Going to try and superglue it. Wonder if there's a source for this nut?

I got to removing the “back” cover. Black cover perhaps? There seem to be silver tabs from the front silver facing that are defeating my attempts to remove the cover.

Thanks for the great guide. Apple definitely made this one more challenging than the 4 or 3!

I was quite surprised though to reach the end and find no help on actually installing the battery. It sure would be nice if you added a section at the end about installing the tape. And reminding people to remove the clear plastic wrapping from around the new battery if such exists. I know it did on my battery from iFixit. Again thanks for the great guide!
