Your instructions told me to go buy a Y-1 Tri Wing screwdriver. It's far too large.
Can you tell me the correct size? this is very frustrating. I have my laptop open, but can't proceed. Argh.
Is this a good question?

There is no mention of Y-0. Your page specifically states Y-1. I drove to another county to find a Y-1. Then when I realized that I'd been sent on a wild goose chase, I drove to a third county to find a full set.
Don't even know where you're listing out a Heat Gun, or a Torx, or a Spudger, certainly not on the page I've listed.
And just what the heck is a Spudger?
jdwhite - when I posted a list of tools I had no idea what link or page you were talking about that's why I created a sort of comprehensive tool list. Repair guides are created by users like you. Apparently you did not read the notes the notes for step #3 mention the tool identification error. As you have learned it is a good idea to study (not just look at) the complete guide and notes before starting a new DIY project.
You're right. It's my fault to trust your website. I read the list. Then you tell that was the wrong list? Really?
In truth, I'm really disappointed in both your website - AND your response. Good luck with your short future.
best.
