Installing iBook G3 14" Clutch Cover

Step 1 Rear Display Bezel

• Use a 1.5 mm hex screwdriver to remove the two hex screws on either side of the display (four screws total).
• If you don't have a 1.5 mm hex driver, you can probably get these screws out with a T6 Torx screwdriver. However, if you use a T6 Torx driver you'll be more likely to strip the screws.
Step 2

• Use your thumbs to slightly separate the rear bezel from the front bezel.
• It is helpful to hold the opposing corner of the display stationary to aid in flexing the rear bezel away from the display.
Step 3
• Insert the flat end of a spudger into the gap between the front and rear bezels.
• Rotate your spudger until it is parallel to the front face of the display.
• Run the spudger around the perimeter of the display to separate the rear bezel from its retaining clips.
Step 4
• Lift the rear bezel off the display.
Step 5 LCD Cover
• Remove the pieces of readily removable tape from around the perimeter of the display.
• Carefully remove the aluminum tape covering the display data cable connection.
Step 6
• Remove the single screw inserted through the piece of EMI tape near the bottom edge of the display.
• Use the tip of a spudger to remove the small washer under the screw you just removed.
Step 7
• Peel the aluminum/EMI tape off the cast aluminum frame of the clutch hinges.
• It is not necessary to peel the tape off the thin steel LCD cover.
Step 8
• Remove the two Phillips screws securing each side of the LCD to the clutch hinge frame (four screws total).
Step 9
• Lift the thin steel LCD cover off the LCD.
Step 10 Clutch Cover
• Remove the second of the two Phillips screws securing the clutch cover to the cast aluminum frame of the clutch hinges.
Step 11
• Pull the clutch cover away from the front of the display.
• Keep track of the two covers that close the ends of the clutch cover. The third picture shows their correct orientation on the clutch cover.
