[QUOTE="Tony3ts, post: 29624"] I'm not a techie so I better be careful about handing out advice. I think you just have well bedded-in screws. My first instinct would be downward pressure as you twist but then you'd have to be wary of damaging the HD. Perhaps a bit of upward pressure on the frame that holds the hard disc/DVD player at the same time? The other possible solution is counter-intuitive (at least that's how I see it). Use a bigger screwdriver head not a smaller one. It gives better grip. My two imacs are the clear case (graphite) and the flower-power. Managed an HD swap both times. Best wishes TONY [/QUOTE]
