Pull the adhesive strip until it’s completely freed from underneath the battery tray.

Is is really necessary to remove the motherboard?
Looking at all the photos, it seems to me like the battery should be clear for removal after disconnecting it and the trackpad cable, leaving the motherboard (and all of its other connectors) in-place. So what am I missing here?
Hi! The logic board is removed first because the battery cable runs underneath it and is adhered to the frame.
It is not necessary to remove the motherboard. The battery cable runs underneath the logicboard, but is not adhere to it. You can slide it out once the battery is loose.

Can someone verify this and see if it does really need to e removed?
