I replaced the key on my daughters Clamshell iBook which has the scissors mechanism and it was an interesting experience getting the new key back on. It would have been even more difficult if the keys had not been translucent so I could see what I was doing.
You have to slide the front part of the scissors mechanism into place first, then while holding it, place the back part of the mechanism into the two holes on the keyboard one at a time. Dental tools work well to get under the key, without dislodging the front and to hook each of the back arms to direct them into the holes at the back. Good luck!!
