While the MyBook Live's book-shaped chassis is nice, the clips preventing it from opening are not.

There are four inner clips in the back, 2 on each side of the chassis.

Slowly work around the clips, while opening the back, otherwise you risk breaking these. If you do, it's not too much of an issue.

Luckily, a Plastic Opening Tool can be used to separate the clips from the outer cover.

Simply insert the tool into the seams near the clip areas, and slowly pry the cover apart.

You may need to use multiple spudgers or screwdrivers to help separate the cover from the inner chassis.

Be careful and don't let any of the tools slide inside the chassis.
