Introdução
Use this guide to replace the battery, after removing the logic board and fans, in your MacBook Pro 16" 2021.
For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your MacBook. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
You'll need replacement adhesive in order to complete this repair.
This is a prerequisite-only guide! This guide is part of another procedure and is not meant to be used alone.

Pull the strip out slowly and steadily at a low angle. Give it plenty of time to stretch and un-stick from under the battery.

Repeat the process for all 14 stretch release adhesive strips.
