iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K Display Hard Drive Replacement

2 hours

Moderate

My Problem

Ordered the full kit to replace my busted 3TB disc hard drive. All the tools work and are excellent. These pictorial and instructional install videos are complete, easy to use, and have good imagery.

My Fix

The 2TB SSD installed exactly as depicted. I used some 3M double sided automotive emblem tape to stick adapter to iMac case, no probs there. The adhesive strips also worked fine and stick firmly. Screen is solidly mounted, no falling out here. IFixit is awesome and this kit saved my over $1200 in getting another iMac. Highly recommended.

My Advice

Just watch the videos and/or photo instructions will work fine. The iMac plastic rotary wheel successfully separated the screen. You might want to use hair dryer to warm up the remain adhesive strips to get them off easier.
