Frankly speaking I do not have idea why do I need steps 2-7 to replace battery? Why I can't go directly to step 8 if it is possible? BTW - the battery seems to be composed from 4 standard batteries. Is anyone aware how to assembly new battery? It is not available as spare part (616-0108)

Agreed, I just successfully removed my PRAM battery skipping all those steps, just popped the keyboard out, removed the DVD drive from the right-hand out and popped that bad boy out, no problemo.

I read that you "removed the DVD drive from the right-hand out...." I'm baffled as to what you mean or how that is done. Can you explain that step?

Scott Kohanek -

Why do I need to remove the airport card? It's just like telling somebody to remove their shoes to take off their hat?

Wish I had read the comments before proceeding. Just removed the Airport card and put it back in for no reason. Thanks for the instructions though.
