There are various models of Mac Pro, and the different models disassemble rather differently.


There’s also the MacBook Pro laptop, which is sometimes (confusingly and incorrectly) called “Mac Pro”. The MacBook Pro also has various versions, and usually require more specialized tools for disassembly.

I’d not usually recommend disassembly.
