The first time I did this it hurt! The second time my mac mini 2012 had been running so was warm. VERY EASY WHEN WARM. No fun when cool!

Wish I would have read this comment before I did it!

I found that what markbart said works best. one palm one thumb (and my knees) My thumbs would do it. It was a bit at a time.

Same difficulty getting it back on.

Would be handy if this (difficulty) was mentioned in the guide

Also would be nice to mention the safe practice of pressing the power button for a few seconds after disconnected to rid the system of any residual power, working in a clean static free environment & they say on the crucial website to touch a metal surface of the machine before touching the RAM

Love your wit! Gotta love a clean freak!

Might I suggest deLimonine (100% of course) from orange peels. (I get mine shipped from canada & use it for everything…. even adhesive removal. Lasts forever.

I tried to give you 30 points but I havn’t completed the job & it made me take it back!

Also Alex Lee! If you do that to a washing machine it won’t be long till you are writing a repair manual for it!
