Step 4
If the computer has an AirPort card installed, follow the next three steps to remove it.
Push the wire clasp away from the AirPort card and toward the display, then rotate up to free it from the RAM shield.
Step 5
Grasp the clear plastic tab on the AirPort card and pull toward the display.
Step 6
Hold the AirPort card in one hand and use your other hand to remove the antenna cable.
I had a hard time getting the Airport card seated properly when reconstructing. If the wire brace doesn't snap back in easily, then try reseating the card. Don't force it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!
Honestly, this is a lot easier than it looks. The key is take your time and don't force anything. Use tweezers to disconnect cables from logic board. Also, use a mini-head screwdriver like for glasses to pry the case open and go slowly.
