Accessing the RAM is easy.
Tools
Parts
-
-
Use your fingers to push both battery release tabs away from the battery, and lift the battery out of the computer.
-
-
-
Lift the memory door up enough to get a grip on it, and slide it toward you, pulling it away from the casing.
-
-
-
Release the tabs on each side of the RAM chip at the same time. These tabs lock the chip in place and releasing them will cause the chip to "pop" up.

Conclusion
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
One comment
I just used this guide to add a 4 GB chip to my MBP. Easy peasy. I have a 6 GB MBP. Seems way faster, but could be wishful thinking. But for less than a hundred bucks its not a wasted experiment.

Years ago, I had to return/replace this type of a battery several times because of erratic behavior in the laptop. Suddenly I had one that lasted for 5 years before not taking any charge anymore. So, I'm going to order a new one hopefully without having to restart the return charade BECAUSE:
I observed that the battery's CONTACTs are unreliably INTERMITTENT. So far, it helped for a while moving it in and out in order to chafe the contacts' surfaces against each other.
