The method you use to remove the screen is very dangerous but the guide is helpful.

Good tutorial also useful to replace the SSD blade.
I would not change the processor and leave the creepy fusion drive, but
save the data, split the fusion drive, replace the SSD blade with a decent NVMe SSD (e.g. 512GB) to hold the OS and programs.
You may keep the HDD for your mass data or replace it with a SSD too.
The NVMe blade is however ways faster...
