I consider myself pretty handy, but i can't figure out the space bar replacement on my A1534.

I really don't want to do a whole keyboard replacement, local shops quoting me $300+ (and, I could use a new battery too). At that point, I might as well buy a new machine.

I bought these two:

Has anyone successfully done this? Know of a shop that can do this single key replacement instead of the entire keyboard? HELP!

I didn't do this before, but if you're handy there's shouldn't be any problems (but beware of using sharp tools or knife)
