Steps:

1. Flip the laptop over and place it on your work surface, feet facing up.

3. Each foot has a hidden indent that will simplify removal.
4. To make sure the spudger is in the indent, insert it at the nearest long edge, pushing parallel to the short edges of the laptop, as shown.
5. Note that the two feet near the rear (screen) edge are different than the two front feet.

6. Insert the pointed end of a spudger underneath one of the two rear feet, at its rear edge.
7. Push the spudger underneath the foot and pry up to release it.

16. Note that the front feet are directional and only clip in one way.
