Let my pictures show you the steps I took to remove and replace my laptop spacebar.

Step 1

It's really simple to take it off. Just slide a thin object underneath the spacebar and pry it off. It will make a popping sound as you separate it from the keyboard, but it is made to come up very easily.

Step 2

Under the spacebar is a thin metal bar that slides underneath one hook on each side. Make sure the metal bar is hooked on both sides.
