Starting near the display and working around to the front of the computer, pry up on the upper case. It is held with clips on the right above the optical drive. These will release with some firm lifting pressure.

Be careful when prying up the upper case. It's very easy to slice open a fingertip and thus provide the blood sacrifice the Mac gods sometimes require of those who insist on doing their own repairs.

while this is the offical way to replace an inverter, those of us at the repair depot quickly learned a much faster why that only involves removing the display bezel and clutch cover.
remove display bezel like normal.
remove the 3 screwa from the clutch cover.
pry lose the clutch cover while the lid is open and then some more when it is closed to get it to pop off.
replace inverter and then carefully replace the clutch cover in the reverse of before.
you may need to clip off the top parts of the tabs inside the clutch cover to get it to replace easier, these serve no purpose and can be safely snipped if needed
we had a few thousand macbooks on hold because we had ran out of stock on the inverters that we were forced to come up with this method to get them all repaired in 1 day when the shippment of inverters finally came in after 2 months of being out of stock. this turned a 30-45 minute fix(including our documentation) into a 5-10 minute fix
Not necessary to remove optical drive and all the cables to replace the inverter
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This is really informative post.
