Disconnect the hard drive thermal sensor by pulling its connector toward the top of your iMac.
I didn't do this on my 2133; just pushed wires out of the way.

Press the hard drive bracket down toward the bottom edge of your iMac to free it from the rear case, then rotate the top of the drive toward yourself.
At first it looked like it needed extra force, rather stand the computer in its stand press the bracket firmly it will come out.
Great set of instructions altogether!

I just braced the foot/stand against my thigh and found there wasn't much force needed. Had to do it twice as I missed the foam pad on the drive I was replacing.
The whole process was simpler than I expected.
I seem to have missed something somewhere as I now have a lot more fan activity than before. A missed sensor connection maybe. Not looking forward to tracking it down.
I worked with the top of the screen facing me. It was very easy to brace my fingers and press with my thumbs to release the drive. I recommend doing it that way if you can.

Walter, I was working on a mid-2007 IMac (2133) and found your instructions helpful but not always complete or right. I have added some comments in some of the steps to clarify.
Pull the temperature sensor cable for the optical drive well out of the way so you don't trap it when inserting the new hard drive.
