Remove the following 10 screws securing the lower case to the MacBook Pro 13" Unibody:
-
Seven 3 mm Phillips screws.
-
Three 13.5 mm Phillips screws.
-
-
-
Slightly lift the lower case and push it toward the rear of the computer to free the mounting tabs.
-
-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger to lift the battery connector up out of its socket on the logic board.
-
-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the subwoofer/right speaker cable connector up off its socket on the logic board.
-
-
-
Disconnect the camera cable by sliding it horizontally out of its socket.
-
If you see a small plastic retainer stuck to the logic board that prevents the camera cable from sliding out, peel it up carefully from the logic board. Apply a little heat from a hair dryer or heat gun if necessary to help soften the adhesive holding it in place. Do not attempt to forcibly disconnect the cable with the retainer in place.
-
If you still have trouble, use the point of a spudger to push at each side of the connector and "walk" it slowly from its socket.
-
-
-
Remove the following screws securing the camera data cable and right speaker to the upper case:
-
Two 8 mm Phillips screws.

One 4mm Phillips screw.

Slide the camera cable bracket out from under the subwoofer and remove it from the computer.

Grab the plastic pull tab secured to the display data cable lock and rotate it toward the DC-in side of the computer.

Pull the display data cable connector straight away from its socket.

Remove the following two screws securing the display data cable bracket to the upper case:
-
One 7 mm Phillips screw.
-
One 5 mm Phillips screw.

Lift the display data cable bracket out of the upper case.

-
Use your Torx driver to remove the two outer 6.5 mm screws securing each of the two display brackets to the upper case (4 screws total).
-
-
-
Open your MacBook so the display is perpendicular to the upper case.
-
Place your opened MacBook on a table as pictured.

While holding the display and upper case together with your left hand, use your Torx driver to remove the remaining 6.5 mm screw from the lower display bracket.
-
-
-
Remove the last remaining 6 mm Torx screw securing the display to the upper case.
-
-
-
Grab the upper case with your right hand and rotate it slightly toward the top of the display so the upper display bracket clears the edge of the upper case.
-
Rotate the display slightly away from the upper case.
-
-
-
Lift the display up and away from the upper case, minding any brackets or cables that may get caught.
-
-
-
Grab the clutch cover as shown and slide it toward the right side of the display.

What is the circuit board under the clutch? I broke off one of the pieces putting the clutch back on.
That is the airport card and its antennae.
Is this the same process to follow for replacing a clutch cover on a MacBook Pro 13" mid-2012 model?
I used this guide for my mid-2012 model (because I thought it was a 2010). It was very similar. The Torx screws were a T7 instead of a T6 and the subwoofer connects with the airport card (instead of the airport card being inside the clutch). I suspect there is a more specific guide on this site. :)
Nicely documented. It was easy to follow and the job went well. Thank you!
