Well I have a Mac Plus which is similar, I just hold the rear part by
the sides, and wiggle it out, gravity and the fact that the display is
connected to the front bezel helps. If that doesn't work, I would
suggest prying it open around the seam; use a strong guitar pick, or a
plastic sprudger, NOT a sharp flathead screwdriver, you will dent the
plastic. Also make sure you have all the screws out (I think one is
behind the battery?) Hope that helps.
