Wedge your fingers between the display and the lower case and pull upward to pop the lower case off the Air..

In this step you will disconnect the battery to help avoid shorting out any components during service.

Use the flat end of a spudger to pry both short sides of the battery connector upward to disconnect it from its socket on the logic board.
Bend the battery cable slightly away from the logic board so the connector will not accidentally bend back and make contact with its socket.

Remove the following five screws securing the battery to the upper case:

Two 5.2 mm T5 Torx screws

 One 6 mm T5 Torx screw
Two 2.6 mm T5 Torx screws

When handling the battery, avoid squeezing or touching the six exposed lithium polymer cells. Lift the battery from its edge nearest the logic board and remove it from the upper case.
