The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank, and the tank must be lowered to access it. The fuel filter is located on the engine block, passenger side, underneath the intake manifold, above and to the front of the starter.
I've taken a Macbook Aluminum model down to the bare frame, so I trust I may be up to this fix. Probably will try the key cleaning tips first! Thank you all for sharing your experiences & invaluable wisdom. : ))
The hack worked perfectly, thank you ifixit team & support!
There was a slight amount of compression when re-setting the logic board, but it doesn't appear to have stressed or pinched anything (yet). It certainly goes in a bit awkwardly. It does suffer a bit of a twist while man-handling it in & out. A bit unnerving.
The first set of suction cups had a defect and one wouldn't hold, & ifixit sales got one in the mail lickety split. +5 stars, ifixit sales!
A few suggestions managing airborne dust:
— do the hack on a windless, foggy day
— see the OWC video for how to handle & temporarily store the glass & LCD
— use a small camel-hair brush to drag dust mites to the edge of the LCD or glass during re-assembly.
Not sure what I'll do about internal dust in a year or so . . .
OWC has a pretty good vid of this mod, including lots of important cautions which are absent from this guide. OWCmacsales is the channel name. I will be using all available material as this mod is high on the pucker-power scale.
Before tightening the screws on the DC board, it helps to push it slightly outwards so that it seats against the case.
