Great guide! I would like to note that when removing the bottom panel some of the seam, especially around the side vents, can be a little hard to find as the seam follows the vent from the bottom to the top. I started prying at the front and then moved to the back, and then to the vent areas on the sides last. That helped make getting the pick in around the vents easier.
