Rest the keyboard face down on the trackpad area.

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 ÒpopÓ up.

Repeat this process if a second RAM chip is installed.

Bend the silver metal EMI clip so that it is vertical. This part may fall out after removing the DVD drive.
You don't actually have to bend the EMI clip. You can use a 2mm or smaller slotted screwdriver to pry the clip up and out.
Sugar Fish was dead-on about using a 2mm slotted screwdriver! But I must say, I’m not sure why this step is here at this point in the guide. I went ahead and removed the clip back in Step 4, after having removed the RAM, with no adverse issues.

They aren't kidding about the "large multi color" cable. A pair of hemostats and very careful wiggling will do it - NB: the lower portion of the plug, the white plastic holding the pins upright and separate, actually came significantly up, almost off - watch for that and (carefully, of course) gently press it back down - it sits flush on the board surface.
