    • Remove the following ten screws securing the lower case to the upper case:

    • Two 2.3 mm P5 Pentalobe screws

    • Eight 3.0 mm P5 Pentalobe screws

    • Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from to avoid damaging your device.

    If don’t have one of those neat project mats, then you can use small pieces of flattened blu-tack to hold the screws. If you arrange them in the shape of your mac book cover, and put the screws down methodically, you can get a one-to-one mapping of the screws to the correct screw holes.

    Or you can use an ice tray where you put the screws and the parts in separate bays in the same order as they come in the instructions.

    This is great! I used a small magnetic white board, and wrote on it to identify the parts as I went. This whole process, from the fast shipment to the great instructions to the complete, high quality, tool kit has been great. I’m typing this comment on my resurrected laptop. Thank you! Sue

    It would be a good idea if people recorded in the comments which screws go where so that, if someone lost their screw positions, they could recover them from the comments.

    • Wedge your fingers between the upper case and the lower case.

    • Gently pull the lower case away from the upper case.

    • Remove the lower case and set it aside.

    • During reassembly, gently push down the center of the lower case to reattach the two plastic clips.

    • The lower case is connected to the upper case at the center, with two plastic clips.

    • Peel away any stickers from the backside of the rear case covering the feet you have chosen to replace.

    • Any stickers you remove will most likely be unsalvageable for re-use. That's okay! Your MacBook does not need them to function.

    If you take an exact knife or similar and trace out a section around the feet, you can leave the rest of the sticker in tact. I found it easier to remove a small section of the sticker as it was fairly well adhered.

    @Stephan Chan - Your suggestion was perfect. Cutting away the small section of sticker where the feet go is definitely the way to do it.

    seattlehudson -

    I agree with you @gusto5 (Stephen Chan) - cutting out a small circle in the sticker with a craft knife is much easier. Just to be on the safe side, since it did expose a little of the aluminum of the case, after I’d stuck the replacement foot and held it in place for 30 seconds, I put a small piece of Scotch tape over the hole I’d cut in the sticker on the back.

    Received a quicker delivery of the feet replacement kit. Followed the suggestion and was quicker and boots (feet) flashed fit on bottom case.

    If, like mine, all your feet have sheared off, you may be able to pry the center bit of plastic left in the lid at each foot out with tweezers. Obviously don't go digging deep or forcing things, but if you are lucky like I was then you don't need to remove all the screws and the lid. My new feet went in well and seem really well stuck. Make sure you clean the surface of the aluminium extremely well.

    I didn't find any need to cut the plastic backing. I found that each foot easily came off the backing and I grabbed it with the tweezers.

    I put a pencil mark on the lid showing the position of the little "key" nub and made a mark on the foot too, showing its position. This allowed me to align the "key" nub with it's hole easily.

    After pealing away any feet, be sure to remove the clear film after applying the adhesive remover. I found this easiest to do with my finger name and then double checked that all four feet recessed areas were free of the clear plastic adhesive backing from the prior removed feet.

    The black stickers are for electrical insulation. I patched mine with black insulating electrical tape.

    Does removing all the black stickers hurt the MacBook in any way?

    The adhesive actually peels off quite easy. I didn't need the adhesive remover, it peeled off like a thin plastic film.

    • Remove any broken or damaged feet.

    • If the foot you are replacing is still intact, you can use your tweezers push it out from the inside.

    • If the old foot is difficult to remove, use a hair dryer or a heat gun to apply some heat to the area and loosen the adhesive.

    There are large black stickers in the way of removing this little piece on my A1502 Early 2015 MBP. How do we proceed from here?

    Jason Protzman - Ответить

    Hey Jason! You can remove those stickers entirely, or just peel them back enough to remove the foot and then cut away the peeled part of the sticker.

    Is the larger feet shown in picture 1 of this section for the MacBook Pro. I am assuming the second picture refers to the Retina MacBook Pro?

    Khushal Varsani - Ответить

    All the pictures and text in this guide refer to the Retina MacBook Pro! The The Unibody MacBook Pro has its own feet replacement guide.

    Taylor Dixon -

    I think what Khushal meant was that picture 1 doesn’t represent the lower case foot hole of the Retina model, the hole left after the removal of the foot is too big. While the 2nd picture seems indeed accurate.

    • Scrub the foot cavity with adhesive remover to remove any remaining adhesive.

    The adhesive is on both sides of a clear plastic sheet that sits in the foot cavity. It is easily missed but appears shiny when holding the case up to light after removing the rubber foot. If you look at the image in Step 9 below you can also see the sheet on the case side of the rubber foot (note this is not the same thing as the plastic sheet that the feet are attached to, this one is very thin and has adhesive on both sides). I applied adhesive remover twice and let it sit for a few minutes to dissolve the adhesive under the pad, then scrubbed with a bit of pressure to get that clear sheet removed from the foot cavity, but am glad I did.

    For me, the adhesive remover was not strong enough, but I was able to apply acetone nail polish remover to remove the remaining adhesive before wiping it down with alcohol.

    Joseph Wilk - Ответить

    Thank you so much, James, for mentioning the clear adhesive! I would’ve completely missed it had I not seen your comment!!

    Tina Nakai - Ответить

    My adhesive remover didn't work, but what did work was gently scraping with a knife. This is for the clear adhesive mentioned by James.

    • Wipe the foot cavity with an isopropyl alcohol prep pad to remove any cleaner residue and prep the area for the adhesive on the new foot.

    I used a paper towel (or a tissue would work) to mop up the bulk of the adhesive remover first. And then I went back with the alcohol swap to get any remaining adhesive remover and let the area air dry.

    • Peel a replacement foot from the plastic backing.

    • The adhesive is fairly strong—make sure that you are peeling the foot up, not tearing the plastic backing.

    • Align the new foot inside the cavity.

    • Make sure the alignment nub on the foot is lined up with the small hole near the perimeter of the pad.

    • You may want to use a pencil to lightly mark where the alignment nub is located. Be careful not to scratch the lower case with your pencil.

    • Lay the foot down while keeping it properly aligned.

    • Check for proper alignment from the inside of the case. The alignment nub should be slightly visible through the alignment hole.

    Matching the alignment nub with the small hole is easier if you align the point of the tweezers with the nub. The tweezer tip then acts as a reference point for matching the nub with its hole.

    • Press the new foot into place firmly with your finger, then apply pressure by pinching the foot from either side of the case with your finger and your thumb.

    • Maintain pressure for 30 seconds to set the pressure-sensitive adhesive.

    • Repeat the last seven steps for any remaining broken or worn feet.

On the inside of the cover of my A1502 Early 2015 MBP, two of the four feet are covered by large black stickers. So, how do we remove the little piece left behind when we remove any foot that is damaged? Do we just cut through the large black sticker or remove it?

Jason Protzman - Ответить

This review was helpful, but it didn’t mention the black stickers on the inside of the lower case. I ended up poking a small hole through the black stickers to get the remaining pieces of previous feet out.

Taylor Caddel - Ответить

Just peel them back as far as needed, then re-stick them back when you're done. In my case, one did re-stick easily, while the other one didn't, I used a small piece of electrical tape to stick it back. It doesn't really matter that much, either way.

Gene Pavlovsky -

I picked the broken pieces caught underneath the stickers through the little hole from the outer side of the case with pointy tweezers.

Bernhard -

Jason and Taylor, the stickers you mention are on Step 4 of this guide.

Adriel Peterson - Ответить

Is it really necessary to remove the whole cover of the mac to change the feet? Can't I just remove the old ones and glue the new ones in place? Thanks!

Dirk Langpap - Ответить

If you can peel the old ones without anything left over in the holes, then I suppose it could work, although it would be difficult to position the new feet exactly at the right orientation, since there's this small alignment nub, if you can't see it from the other side, it would be quite hard to align it just right. I don't really understand the purpose of them, since the feet look quite symmetrical.

Gene Pavlovsky -

I would caution against doing it from the outside only. The old feet are attached to a small ring on the inside. If you remove the foot from the outside, that little ring gets lost in the case and can potentially get into the fan.
I did not remove the stickers. Those actually caught the little ring and I could pick its pieces through the little whole with tweezers from a kit after ripping off the single original foot left on my machine.
