At first glance you would wonder where the heck are the screws! Apple loves clean sleek lines and is all about style. To find the first round of screws you will need to find your self a suction cup to pop out the front glass.

Once you have found your suction cup pick a side of the glass and carefully pull the glass up. (the glass is only held in by magnets)

Next go to your work shop and find a torx screw driver to remove the army of screws holding the aluminum bezel together.

After removing the Ram cover on the bottom of the screen (using a Philips screw driver) Start at the top of the screen and pop the bezel off.

Next you have another batch of torx screws to remove the iMac screen. Once you have removed all the screws there is a plug in the top right of the screen that needs to be unplugged.

You have finally made it! Remove your old hard drive and upgrade away!

Now that you have successfully upgraded your hard drive.. perform the steps in reverse and don’t forget to plug that lcd connector back in. You will need to boot off your osx cd to do a fresh install.
