Title:

Remove MacBook Pro 16" backplate without scratching the internals?!

Text:

Hi there,
Does anyone know any tips/tricks to removing the new Macbook Pros backplates without scratching up the internals? I’ve followed the iFixit tutorial on how to open it up, but it keeps scratching up the internals when I remove the backplate and has caused pogo stick to sheer off.
* Cheers
