    So I'm trying to follow the stickied disassembly guide but I've run into a roadblock with the HDD. I've been able to remove the cover and the left part of the metal cover things. But I can't seem to be able to pull off the tabs for the piece on the right side. Heres some pictures:

    There seem to be screws on the tabs for the right side, but not on the cover on the left side

    So how do I remove the right side?

    There should only be four screws, two on each side. You may have to push it out of the bracket.
