    • Remove the following ten screws securing the heat sink to the logic board:

    • Two 2.4 mm T5 Torx screws

    • Six 3.4 mm T5 Torx screws

    • One 5.2 mm Raised Head T5 Torx screw

    • One 3.5 mm T5 Torx screw

    This step forgets two silver T5 screws, on either end of the heatpipe (highlighted in purple here) : http://i.imgur.com/zCNdb.jpg

    The one on the left is covered by a rubber cap which can be removed and put back easily.

    If those are not removed, the heatsink will NOT come off and you risk breaking something by applying unnecessary force to the heatsink or surrounding components.

    Some of the screws are stuck and i cant remove them, ive already tried using rubberbands, pliers and even super glue to fill in the holes, how do i remove them? The shape of the heads are barely showing, due to constant turning of the screwdriver.

    yes, I had that problem on mine, too. One of the tiny 2,4 mm screws( red circles) was stripped, I couldnt get it out to renew the thermal paste under the heatpipe..

    I solved the problem by using a plier, I grabed the stripped screw on its sides and that unlocked it..

    • Grasping the heat sink from one side, lift the heat sink off of the MacBook Pro, pulling it free from the computer.

    • The thermal paste may make it difficult to remove the heat sink. Pull the heat sink off gently but forcefully to avoid damaging any components on the logic board.

    • When installing the new heat sink, do not forget to replace the thermal paste underneath the heat sink. See our Applying Thermal Paste guide for further instructions.

    If the black stickers surrounding the cpu and graphics card got damaged, is it safe to reinstall the heatsink without them?

I'm sorry to hear that! Try checking out this stripped screw guide and reading through this Answers post. Hope this helps with your repair!

I won't call this moderate but rather easy instead, seems like ifixit expect that easy is something you just unplug without even open the computer

Where can I get new screws if I want to replace them?

Boro J. - Responder

where to buy 2.4 mm T5 torx screw for heat sink?

Yuriy Alquadaur - Responder

I am looking for them too. They are very tightly attached to the heatsink and very easy to strip.
