Then, with the screws in the handle area partially inserted (couple of turns), press down on the screw with the long Torx driver. The case will start to separate. After 1/4" or so, I do the same with the case bottom screws. When the case is separated 1/2" or so at top and bottom, I remove the screws and lay the Mac face down on the towel. I can then lift the case off, sometimes using fingers to help finish the separation.
