Hi @firstimemacuser

The millimeter designations in the guide are for screw depth, meaning that you shouldn’t put a long screw in where a short screw came out. Just make sure you keep the screws organized!

From the guide, it looks like you’ll only need a P5, T5, and T6 screwdriver to complete the replacement. P stands for Pentalobe and T stands for Torx.

You can get this kit to complete the repair:

Essential Electronics Toolkit

The T6 and TR6 bits are interchangeable!

Best of luck with your repair!
