Einleitung
Haben die Gummifüße an deinem MacBook schon mal besser ausgesehen? Diese Anleitung zeigt dir, wie du sie austauschen kannst.
Was du brauchst
-
In diesem Schritt verwendetes Werkzeug:Magnetic Project Mat$19.95
-
Entferne die folgenden zehn Schrauben, mit denen das untere Gehäuse am oberen Gehäuse befestigt ist:
-
Zwei 2,3 mm P5 Pentalobe Schrauben
-
Acht 3,0 mm P5 Pentalobe Schrauben
-
-
-
Versuche mit den Fingern zwischen das obere und das untere Gehäuse zu kommen.
-
Ziehe das untere Gehäuse behutsam vom Oberen weg.
-
Entferne das untere Gehäuse und lege es zur Seite.
-
-
-
Das untere Gehäuse ist in der Mitte durch zwei Plastikklammern mit dem oberen Gehäuse verbunden.
-
-
-
Ziehe alle Aufkleber von den Füßen, die du ersetzen willst, auf der Rückseite des Rückgehäuses ab.
If you take an exact knife or similar and trace out a section around the feet, you can leave the rest of the sticker in tact. I found it easier to remove a small section of the sticker as it was fairly well adhered.
@Stephan Chan - Your suggestion was perfect. Cutting away the small section of sticker where the feet go is definitely the way to do it.
I agree with you @gusto5 (Stephen Chan) - cutting out a small circle in the sticker with a craft knife is much easier. Just to be on the safe side, since it did expose a little of the aluminum of the case, after I’d stuck the replacement foot and held it in place for 30 seconds, I put a small piece of Scotch tape over the hole I’d cut in the sticker on the back.
Received a quicker delivery of the feet replacement kit. Followed the suggestion and was quicker and boots (feet) flashed fit on bottom case.
If, like mine, all your feet have sheared off, you may be able to pry the center bit of plastic left in the lid at each foot out with tweezers. Obviously don't go digging deep or forcing things, but if you are lucky like I was then you don't need to remove all the screws and the lid. My new feet went in well and seem really well stuck. Make sure you clean the surface of the aluminium extremely well.
I didn't find any need to cut the plastic backing. I found that each foot easily came off the backing and I grabbed it with the tweezers.
I put a pencil mark on the lid showing the position of the little "key" nub and made a mark on the foot too, showing its position. This allowed me to align the "key" nub with it's hole easily.
After pealing away any feet, be sure to remove the clear film after applying the adhesive remover. I found this easiest to do with my finger name and then double checked that all four feet recessed areas were free of the clear plastic adhesive backing from the prior removed feet.
The black stickers are for electrical insulation. I patched mine with black insulating electrical tape.
The adhesive actually peels off quite easy. I didn't need the adhesive remover, it peeled off like a thin plastic film.

Entferne alle kaputten oder beschädigten Füße.

Wenn sich der Fuß nur schwer entfernen lässt, dann kannst du die Stelle mit einem Haartrockner oder einem Heißluftgebläse erwärmen und den Kleber lösen.
There are large black stickers in the way of removing this little piece on my A1502 Early 2015 MBP. How do we proceed from here?
Hey Jason! You can remove those stickers entirely, or just peel them back enough to remove the foot and then cut away the peeled part of the sticker.
Is the larger feet shown in picture 1 of this section for the MacBook Pro. I am assuming the second picture refers to the Retina MacBook Pro?
All the pictures and text in this guide refer to the Retina MacBook Pro! The The Unibody MacBook Pro has its own feet replacement guide.
I think what Khushal meant was that picture 1 doesn’t represent the lower case foot hole of the Retina model, the hole left after the removal of the foot is too big. While the 2nd picture seems indeed accurate.

Reibe die Vertiefung für den Fuß mit einem Klebstoffentferner ab und entferne alle Klebstoffreste.
The adhesive is on both sides of a clear plastic sheet that sits in the foot cavity. It is easily missed but appears shiny when holding the case up to light after removing the rubber foot. If you look at the image in Step 9 below you can also see the sheet on the case side of the rubber foot (note this is not the same thing as the plastic sheet that the feet are attached to, this one is very thin and has adhesive on both sides). I applied adhesive remover twice and let it sit for a few minutes to dissolve the adhesive under the pad, then scrubbed with a bit of pressure to get that clear sheet removed from the foot cavity, but am glad I did.
For me, the adhesive remover was not strong enough, but I was able to apply acetone nail polish remover to remove the remaining adhesive before wiping it down with alcohol.
Thank you so much, James, for mentioning the clear adhesive! I would’ve completely missed it had I not seen your comment!!
My adhesive remover didn't work, but what did work was gently scraping with a knife. This is for the clear adhesive mentioned by James.

Wische die Vertiefung für den Fuß mit einem mit Isopropylalkohol getränkten Pad aus, so dass wirklich alle Klebstoffreste beseitigt sind und die Klebestelle gut vorbereitet ist.
I used a paper towel (or a tissue would work) to mop up the bulk of the adhesive remover first. And then I went back with the alcohol swap to get any remaining adhesive remover and let the area air dry.

-
Richte den neuen Fuß genau in der Vertiefung aus.
-
Drücke den Fuß immer noch exakt ausgerichtet nach unten.
-
Überprüfe von der Gehäuseinnenseite her, ob der Fuß wirklich richtig sitzt. Die kleine Noppe muss von innen ein wenig in dem Führungsloch sichtbar sein.
Matching the alignment nub with the small hole is easier if you align the point of the tweezers with the nub. The tweezer tip then acts as a reference point for matching the nub with its hole.
-
-
-
Drücke den neuen Fuß mit dem Finger fest. Drücke ihn dann noch kräftig an, indem du den Fuß von jeder Gehäuseseite her zwischen Zeigefinger und Daumen zusammenpresst.
-
Halte diesen Druck 30 Sekunden lang an, so dass der Kleber durch den Druck fest wird.
-
Wiederhole die letzten sieben Schritte für alle Füße, die ausgetauscht werden müssen.
-
Um dein Gerät wieder zusammenzusetzen, folge den Schritten in umgekehrter Reihenfolge.

Great kit for replacing the feet on a MacBook. Had a foot fall off my 6 year old MacBook Pro and this kit fit exactly!
If don’t have one of those neat project mats, then you can use small pieces of flattened blu-tack to hold the screws. If you arrange them in the shape of your mac book cover, and put the screws down methodically, you can get a one-to-one mapping of the screws to the correct screw holes.

Or you can use an ice tray where you put the screws and the parts in separate bays in the same order as they come in the instructions.

This is great! I used a small magnetic white board, and wrote on it to identify the parts as I went. This whole process, from the fast shipment to the great instructions to the complete, high quality, tool kit has been great. I’m typing this comment on my resurrected laptop. Thank you! Sue

It would be a good idea if people recorded in the comments which screws go where so that, if someone lost their screw positions, they could recover them from the comments.
