Rotate the L-shaped memory cover so it clears the battery compartment opening and lift it up and out of the computer.

Starting near the display and working around to the front of the computer, pry up on the upper case. A plastic opening tool or a medium hard guitar pick may help you to do this.
-
-
-
While holding up the upper case, pull up the black tab of the silver cable away from its connector.
-
While you have the upper case removed, you may want to take the opportunity to remove dust, hair, etc. It's best to use a can of compressed air, though if you use a brush, make sure that its bristles are made of a material (usually animal hair) that doesn't generate static electricity, which can destroy electronics.

Using a spudger, gently pry up the white plastic slot and slide the metal c-channel to the right and away from the display.

Use a spudger to carefully disconnect the microphone cable from the logic board. You'll want to work from side to side, and slowly wiggle the connector out of its socket.
-
-
-
Lift up on the black right speaker cable with one hand, and deroute the microphone cable from the silver metal clip just above the right RAM slot.
-
-

One 5.2 mm larger diameter 4.2 mm head Phillips in the middle.
-
One 10 mm Phillips from the far right.

Use a thin plastic card to release the tabs holding the front display bezel to the display assembly. There are five tabs along the left side of the display bezel.
-
-
-
-
-
Lift up the front display bezel from the top and use your plastic card to free the tabs along the bottom edge of the display bezel.
-
After freeing all holding tabs, lift the front display bezel away from the display assembly.
-
-
-
Use a metal spudger or another thin tool to carefully pry the gray plastic clips off the tabs molded into the front display bezel. A 0.8mm flat screwdriver may be useful for this step.
-
-
-
Insert the longer end of the retaining clip beneath the edge of its recess cut into the LCD bracket.
-
Use the edge of a metal spudger to push the shorter tab on the other side of the retaining clip into the recess cut into the LCD bracket.

One only needs to go to page 14 of this guide to install a new front bezel. This can be replaced without virtually dismantling the entire computer. By that, I mean you don't have to take the battery out, you don't have to take the top of the case off, you don't have to take the entire display off. Simply pry off the old front bezel with a plastic card, just as in the directions, being careful not to overextend the display on its hinges while in the processes.
There is really no need to disassemble the bottom of the computer and remove the display assembly from the bottom case to replace the display bezel. You can simply start at step 36 if you only want to remove/replace the bezel. (MB062LL/A)
Can you please guys confirm that it is possible to replace display bezel without having to dissamble topcase, optical drive, etc? Should I just go to Step 36 and go on? Is that easy?
