Hold the end of the cable retainer down with one finger while you use the tip of a spudger to slightly lift the other end and rotate it away from the camera cable connector.

Disconnect the camera cable by pulling the male end straight away from its socket.
I would recommend leaving the camera cable plugged into the motherboard, and simply sliding the optical drive out from underneath it carefully. If you mistakenly life this connector straight up (as I did) you can damage either the cable connector or the motherboard socket. I damaged the connector on the cable and now the wifi antenna doesn't work. Replacing this damaged cable is about 10X more of a pain (in time and money) than the effort to slide the optical drive out from beneath this cable instead of disconnecting it.
Totally agree here, my wifi card is no longer recognized by the computer. Not sure what to do now.

Peel the camera cable off the adhesive securing it to the optical drive.
When reassembling, which adhesive should be used to reattach the camera cable?

Disconnect the Bluetooth cable by pulling the male end straight away from its socket.

Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the Bluetooth antenna cable from its socket on the board.
How can I determine if I have an antiglare display?
Thanks!

If you have the part in step 10, you do. If you don’t, you don’t (looks like pic in step 9).
As already pointed out in a comment to step 8, it is possible to slide carefully out the drive from underneath the bluetooth board without touching it, and to insert the replacement drive in the same way, avoiding to perform this step and the next one.

Remove the two 8 mm Phillips screws securing the Bluetooth/camera cable retainer to the upper case.

Lift the Bluetooth board/cable retainer assembly out of the upper case.

Remove the two 3.5 mm Phillips screws securing the outer side of the optical drive to the upper case.
When installing the HD bay, the screws here will not go back. Not sure if the bracket/holes are somehow different. After completing the install, everything seems secure. Does anyone think not having these screws is critical beyond securing the drive?

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

I found it quite easy to carefully remove the drive from under the camera cable without disconnecting it, and guide the new drive back in under. It saved time and the danger of damaging those fragile connectors.
