I think, that the needed Hex is actually a 1/16 inch Hex.
the 1.5mm works fine but seems to be a littlebit too small (But i can't test it since i do not own 1/16 inch Hex (but that one should be about 1.58mm).
That very well may be true. The 1.5 mm hex does go in pretty easily, but I got both screws out and back in with it. I don't have a 1/16 hex either, but that would be interesting to try if anyone has one.
YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THIS!!! IT IS DIFFICULT. WHEN YOU PROCEED TO STEP 16, JUST LIFT TOP OFF CAREFULLY AND LAY BESIDE LEFT SIDE!
I agree. I did not disconnect either one either. I propped it against the side of the monitor of the MacBook Pro I was reading these instructions on while doing this repair.
