-
-
-
Remove the three evenly-spaced Phillips screws from along the rear wall of the battery compartment.
-
-
-
Lift up on L-shaped memory cover, slide it to the right, and lift it out of the computer.
-

Remove the following 3 screws:
-
One 11 mm Phillips #00 in the middle of the case.

Two 14.5 mm Phillips #00.

Remove the two 6 mm Phillips #00 screws from either side of the right wall of the battery compartment (not the ones closest to the battery connector).

Starting near the display and working around to the front of the computer, pry up on the upper case. It is held with clips on the right above the optical drive. These will release with some firm lifting pressure.
-
Be careful when prying up the upper case. It's very easy to slice open a fingertip and thus provide the blood sacrifice the Mac gods sometimes require of those who insist on doing their own repairs.
-
-
-
While holding up the upper case (from the bottom or the top), use a spudger to pry up the orange trackpad and keyboard cable from its connector.
-
-
-
Grasp the white plastic tab attached to the hard drive and pull it to the left, removing the hard drive from the computer.

Lift the front edge of the optical drive and slide it up and out of the computer.

Two 3 mm Phillips near the right speaker.

-
-
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.

Use a thin plastic card to release the tabs and their clips 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. You may find that it's easier to remove some of these clips by prying up on their long sides.

This may be a lame question but is it completely necessary to do steps 1-34? Can we simply remove the bezel with out taking off the display?
You're right, most of these steps are irrelevant. You can easily just pop it off. You can do 36-40 without taking apart the whole computer. just start on the lower sides. I did it yesterday. It's really easy.

I don't mean to insult this guide. But you can definitely take the bezel screen frame off without taking apart the whole computer. It's not attached to anything other than the bezels. Just start at the bottom sides and go from there. This guide could definitely be simplified. You just need to do 36-40
You are right I just did mine yesterday, unknowingly with no prior knowledge, I fix a new display bezel without tempering with the top Case.
