Use a coin or spudger to rotate the battery-locking screw 90 degrees clockwise.
-
-
-
Unscrew the three evenly-spaced Phillips screws from along the rear wall of the battery compartment.
-
-
-
Remove the following 3 screws:
-
One 11 mm Phillips#00 in the middle of the lower case. (Head: 5mm dia. x .75mm thick)
-
Two 14.5 mm Phillips #00 (Head: 5mm dia. x .75mm thick)
-

-
Grasp the white plastic tab attached to the hard drive and pull it to the left, removing the hard drive from the computer.
-
-
-
-
Remove the 2 mm Phillips #00 screw securing the rear corner of the optical drive.
-
The silver-jacketed Bluetooth cable may be covering the screw. If so, carefully push it aside. You may need to remove the screw holding the ground shield lugs for the two nearby cables before you can move the Bluetooth cable aside sufficiently. This screw is 7mm in earlier models, and may be 4.2mm in Santa Rosa/Penryn and 2009 models.

-
Lift the side of the optical drive closest to you, then slide the drive towards you, and up and out of the computer.
-
First, slide its side nearest to the rear of the Macbook under the edge of the rear frame to the left of the hinge, while also sliding the optical drive's mounting tab at its upper left corner under the cables at this location.
-
Lower the drive partially into the lower housing. Keep the hard drive cable away from the optical drive bay.
-
Before dropping the drive fully in place, use a spudger to push forward (towards the front of the drive) on the screw hole in the drive's mounting tab.
-
Push forward the slider, which runs along the far side of the drive, to insert the end of this slider into a small channel in the lower case's frame. This helps hold the drive in place.

For original Macbook Core Duo and Core 2 Duo models, remove these 3 screws:
-
Two 3 mm Phillips near the right speaker.
-
One 6 mm Phillips threaded through a hole in a plastic finger above the subwoofer.
-
For Santa Rosa/Penryn and 2009 models, which don't have a c-channel:
-
Remove only the single 3 mm Phillips screw from the right speaker, and skip step 26.
-
-
-
Use a spudger to carefully disconnect the microphone cable from the logic board. You'll want to work from side to side, and slowly wiggle the plug back and out of its socket.
-
-
-
Disconnect the antenna cables from the Airport card:
-
If you have an original MacBook Core Duo or Core 2 Duo model, see the first picture, which shows that there are three antenna cables.
-
If you have a MacBook Core 2 Duo Santa Rosa/Penryn or 2009 model, there are only two antenna cables, and the plug/socket for the black inverter cable is in a different location. There may be a square foam piece over the plug/socket for the inverter board connector.
-
Disconnect the inverter cable from its socket by inserting a spudger between the right or left ends of the plug and the socket, and prying gently vertically. Do NOT pry up on the socket--you must pull up on the plug alone, vertically out of the socket. Do not pull in the direction of the cable wires or you will tear the socket off the logic board.

For original Macbook Core Duo and Core 2 Duo models, see first picture and remove the following 2 screws from the right hinge mount:
-
One 6 mm Phillips on the left side of the hinge mount.

One 10 mm Phillips on the right side of the hinge mount.

-
One 5.2 mm larger diameter, 4.2 mm head Phillips in the middle.
-
One 10 mm larger diameter, 4.2mm head Phillips from the far right.
-
Before removing the right hinge mount, take care to see how its pieces fit together, including the small white plastic piece. Knowing how the mount pieces fit together will help with reassembly. Lift the right hinge mount with the small white plastic piece out of the computer.

-
One 7.2 mm smaller diameter Phillips from the right side.

One only needs to go to page 14 of this guide to install a new front bezel. This can be replaced without virtually dismantling the entire computer. By that, I mean you don't have to take the battery out, you don't have to take the top of the case off, you don't have to take the entire display off. Simply pry off the old front bezel with a plastic card, just as in the directions, being careful not to overextend the display on its hinges while in the processes.
There is really no need to disassemble the bottom of the computer and remove the display assembly from the bottom case to replace the display bezel. You can simply start at step 36 if you only want to remove/replace the bezel. (MB062LL/A)
Can you please guys confirm that it is possible to replace display bezel without having to dissamble topcase, optical drive, etc? Should I just go to Step 36 and go on? Is that easy?
