At the bottom of the memory bay, there are 2 more Phillips screws. They
are a smaller head than the ones inside the memory bay that you just
removed. Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the screws.
There is one problem. On many machines, the screws were improperly
installed. Instead of using loctite on the screw standoff, Apple used loc-
tite on the screws themselves, into the standoffs - without loctite on the
standoffs that thread into the Mac Pro’s chassis.
This means, when you try and remove the screws, the standoffs them-
selves that the screws are screwed into turn. You may need to use a
very thin pair of needlenose pliers, hemostats, or even a thin flat blade
screwdriver to hold the hex-shaped standoff tight, while you loosen the
Phillips screws.
A photo of this task being made look easy, at least if your screws are not
improperly installed as described above. Try and not strip the Phillips
screw heads.
