The hardest part is taking out the cover at the back of the keyboard (has the power button and sleep light). I use a large paper clip, straightened out but with a little L-shaped hook on the end. You have to pull the plastic towards the trackpad on each side. The clip is just to the right of the power button and about the same place on the left side. It takes a pretty good pull to knock it loose. After that, unplug the inverter and mainboard connections, remove the four torx #8 screws inside the back cover, and lift the screen assy out.

Yes your correct, the most difficult part seems to be removing the clutch cover. This is covered in the inverter board take apart section. The manual says, after removal of appropriate parts to lift up until you can disengage the hooks at the back. Hmm sounds a little delicate. This is where I would get a bead of sweat on my forehead.
I like the paper clip route. So how far do you lift up on the cover before you slide the paper clip in to disengage the clips. Do you go high enough to where you can see these clips or just go by feel. In the manual the photo implies I could lift this cover to about 45 degrees and this should disengage the clips. I think this might be a little dangerous on plastic.
Thanks for the help
Geoff
