    • Allow the EMI shield to hang down from the display.

    • Remove the four 8 mm with 2 mm thick head coarse-thread T10 Torx screws securing the display to the rear case.

    • These screws are recessed, so a thin screwdriver such as this is essential for removal. Bit drivers tend to be too short for this application.

    • It is strongly recommended to use a magnetized screwdriver so the screws won't fall into the iMac.

    • Pull the hard drive thermal sensor connector away from its socket on the logic board.

    • Pull this connector parallel to the face of the logic board toward the top edge of the iMac.

    • Use a spudger to pry the thermal sensor and adhesive off the hard drive and install it in the same location on the replacement drive.

    • Press the hard drive bracket down to free it from the rear case, then rotate the top of the drive toward yourself.

    • Pressing the top of the hard drive bracket down to release it from the rear case requires a substantial amount of force, so we recommend laying your iMac stand-side down on a table to avoid knocking it over.

    • If you have trouble releasing the hard drive bracket, it can be removed from the hard drive, by removing the two T8 or T10 Torx screws securing the bracket to the drive.

    • The locking mechanism faces the rear case.

It was quite easy, but a little fiddly. I didn't need to remove the hardrive to replace the power supply.

The PSU in the 17” is smaller than shown and has the DC - DC convertor above it.
