Lay your iMac stand-side down on a flat surface.

To lift the front bezel off the iMac, simultaneously:

Use your thumbs to press in the RAM arms and hold the iMac down.
-
Use your index fingers to pull the small bridge of material on the front bezel toward yourself.
-
Pull the front bezel up with your index fingers.
-
-
Once the small bridge of material has cleared the RAM arms, lift the front bezel by its lower edge just enough to clear the bottom edge of the rear case.
