    • Lifting the left edge of the clutch cover, gently rock it back and forth on its long axis while pulling it away from the display.

    • Remove the clutch cover from the display, minding any cables that may get caught.

    • When reinstalling the clutch cover, be sure to widen the opening when slipping it over the small black plastic cosmetic cover that fills the open end of the clutch cover when it is in place. The cosmetic cover has very thin and delicate plastic arms that hold it to the right clutch hinge.

    That is not how you do it. it's the same everywhere when people attempt this. You slide the cover to the side and lift it off gently.

    Confirmed from the Apple service manual. Slide the cover 1/4” to the right and lift it off. This instruction should be updated. You’re going to mangle the $@$* out of your cover trying to do it this way.
