Well done and thank you for this very precise description to access the hard drive. After that, reconnecting the hard drive or SSD is difficult because the very short SATA connector wires do not allow it to be presented well in the axis of the drive connector and it is impossible to hold it firmly with your fingers. Space is very small.
Totally! I ended up hooking my angled tweezers behind the connector to push it into the drive. Alignment was still a bit tricky.

Thank you SO MUCH for this guide. I bought my iMac used from someone who was upgrading to a newer SSD model, and once I got it home and reset, I was understood all too well why he upgraded. So I ordered the kit here and followed these directions. With my iPad propped up next to the iMac on my table, I was able to follow it right through. As others have commented, the drive cable is very short, but I held back the rubber bumpers until I got it connected, and then everything else went smoothly. Now my iMac is like a new machine (minus the newer Thunderbolt ports and other newer amenities). Thanks again!
I was just looking at the dismal trade in options for all my old apple products, and just assumed Id be buying a new computer every 2-3 yrs at retail whenever apple decided mine was out of date, but after stumbling on this site i love the mission, and am actually excited to try some of these articles on my old products and maybe learn a few things. Thank you for all this work its awesome and appreciated.
