The overall procedure is ok, however as others commented instructions on how to remove the feet would be helpful. I tried a heat gun to help loosen the glue, however that just melted the feat. Overall go the job done, but 2 out of the 4 feet were destroyed in the process.
Also in my case there were no screws under the top or bottom feet, so I could have probably removed the cover without removing the feet.
I think HP quietly refreshed the internals of this laptop or something, because despite appearing externally identical to the laptop shown in the pictures, mine has a smaller main board and differently sized battery. so you should open yours up and check before ordering the battery. mine has the PK03XL. this is double annoying because I was repairing this one for a friend, and she's the one who ordered the battery.
just finished my repair of my w-013 version. good to know that the top two feet have screws underneath them - small risk of denting the bottom cover if you're not gentle. also, the cable is slightly too long to fit neatly in the battery receptacle - it required some jamming that i'll probably be concerned about for a while.
This guide was helpful but my bottom two feet didn't have screws. I used a T4 instead of T5 and for the Phillips a T0 and a T1.
The battery had two metal stickers on it under the bottom feet so I put them on the replacement battery in the same place.
My model is 13-ac033dx
