    OK, solved this and installed the SSD drive.
    I could not find an online guide however.

    Flip the Laptop over, remove Battery and remove memory cover.

    Remove all screws, including single crew inside memory cover and 3 screww howing in DVD drive.
    Cover lifts easily off with no problems.
    Hard drive is on front left at the bottom, undo 2 remaining crews and use tab to lift hard drive and slide to the left and out.

    Assembly is reverse, you may need to locate DVD drive to fix screws.
