Trying to remove screws so I can put back my superdrive for my 2011 MBP. Who bought this because of the bluetooth holder's two screws got stripped?

These worked great for removing those screws. I also had stripped screws when removing the SuperDrive of my MBP. I bought these screwdrivers as a last try to remove them before bringing my computer to a shop. Just make sure to push down with a but if force when removing the screw.

It just slides in and you use old screws from old driver. I believe this one has a face plate. All I did was unscrew the screw on the bottom unplug cable slide out old drive. And slide new drive in plugged cable in and replaced the screw. And bam done

Absolutely not. I had half the screws back in my MacBook before this thing was done for.

I just bought one today at walmart and I stripped it too, and I was using the correct size screwdriver. Now I am not sure how I am going to get the battery compartment off without breaking it. I would never buy this again. I am wondering why they used a screw in the first place.

I bought a cheap set of screwdrivers which have the special head, and a "spluge"?! for prying it off.My son is the whiz in the family, and had no problems doing the replacement (other than he preferred a different color than I bought).

Sorry, I can't help you. I had the same problem, returned the item with my cd in it. Bought Superdrive from Apple and have no problem.

It is a pain to change. You must remove the bottom. There are 8 or so screws and they are not the same size. Then you turn it over and pry it apart being very careful not to break the three ribbons {keyboard, power button, and touch pad} Then you must disconnect the ribbons to replace the battery. Hard drive replacement requires removal of a few more screws . If the battery dies and you can't replace it your self you might just want to toss it.

I did, very easy. You do want the mini screwdriver if you don't have it. I did not buy a formatted disk so Apple Genius helped me with that part.

Well, you do have a dilemma. The iCracked screw drivers are pretty good when removing damaged screws, but if all else fails, the the option is to gently put a flat head plastic like a guitar pic or screw drive along with a glass suction cup and break the back cover

I have a mid 2009 Core 2 duo 13" Macbook and the superdrive failed. I ordered this UJ-898 replacement and it works fine. Anyone mechanically-minded could follow the instructions and even do the replacement themselves with a little care.

Depending on the model of macbook pro you have, you may need to use a pentalobe screwdriver if I remember correctly. Check ifixit for detailed instructions.

When I replaced mine I just used a flat head screw driver and a knife. When it got to the clips on the back of the casing I just grabbed both halves at the front and ripped it open. The casing started to bend but the clips came undone and there was no damage at all. Of course proceed at your own risk

This has been answered (although evidently the designs keep changing slightly), but the next issue you will find is putting it back together. If you have a 12.5 mm drive, it's a challenge such that I gave up and just taped it together with electrical tape rather than trying to get the tiny screws back in place. tape works beautifully.

Can you borrow someone else's PC to copy the files over to a thumbdrive? either that or contact Macally and ask them which driver's you need.
