Remove the following ten screws securing the lower case to the upper case:
-
Three 13.5 mm (14.1 mm) Phillips screws.
-
Seven 3 mm Phillips screws.
-
-
-
Use the edge of a spudger to pry the battery connector upwards from its socket on the logic board.
-
-
-
Remove the following three screws securing the left fan to the logic board:
-
Two 3.5 mm T6 Torx screws.
-
One 4.2 mm T6 Torx screw.
-
-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger to lift the right fan connector out of its socket on the logic board.
-
-
-
-
Carefully lift the logic board assembly from its left side and work it out of the upper case, minding the optical drive cable and the I/O ports that may get caught during removal.
-
If necessary, use the flat end of a spudger to separate the microphone from the upper case.
-
Pull the I/O port side of the logic board away from the side of the upper case and remove the logic board assembly.
-
-
-
Remove the two 7.5 mm ( 7.2 mm )Tri-point screws securing the battery to the upper case.

Use the flat end of a spudger to peel up the edge of the large piece of black tape covering the trackpad cable.
-
Peel the tape up and fold it back out of the way of the trackpad cable. Leaving it in place on the upper case will make it easier to reapply it during reassembly.
-
-
-
When reinstalling the trackpad, loosely replace the four Phillips screws and check the alignment of the trackpad on the keyboard side of the upper case.
-
Once you have centered the trackpad in the upper case, tighten the Phillips screws all the way.
-
Use the large Tri-point screw at the bottom of the trackpad to adjust the click stroke.

Be extremely careful about the keyboard backlight socket. I ended up breaking off an infinitesimally small side of the plastic socket and I have no keyboard backlight now. This doesn't bother me that much, but still irritating!
Dang - I did the same thing. Thankfully it was on the questionable logic board in the machine I was scavenging the “good” trackpad from, so I didn’t do the same to the good one. Overall, a very good set of instructions - thank you to the author.

Very easy process, one observation is that the holes which the screws that hold the battery in shattered, they're very brittle, had to hot glue my battery back in, double sided tape would have been better. Hardest part was the alignment of the new trackpad, but if you take your time to align it and use sellotape to hold it in place while you flip the MacBook and tighten it, everything will be all good.
Many thanks to the author
+ It is important to make sure you connected well the keyboard/trackpad cable
+ Test if your keyboard is working before attempting to reset either the PRAM/NVRAM and the System Management Controller (SMC), which, although not required, I would recommend doing after replacing a piece of hardware like the trackpad
+ Thanks for these instructions
Well, thanks for the good instructions…But (IMHO) if you only need to replace the trackpad and not the trackpad ribbon cable it is NOT necessary to follow all these steps, E.g. you do not have to remove logic board and all, just follow steps to remove battery, unscrew the trackpad, carefully remove cable on the trackpad side (the cable has also a connector there) and done. Then vice versa Maybe 20 minutes work.
