Getting to the HD on an ibook

I'm looking to open up my ibook to put a bigger hard drive inside, and I was wondering if anyone here has tried it before. I'm handy with tools, but I'm not sure where to begin. I have no problem with someone telling my how to do it rather than me having to guess. It's an ibook G4 12.1", the 1.0ghz model, if that info is needed. I noticed the allen wrench screws on the bottom, and taking them out didn't seem to get me anywhere. Any ideas or links would be appreciated!

    I found this site that has instructions on how to open and replace the hd on an ibook g4. It's not the exact model, but it should be pretty similar.

    Wow! That's a lot of work. I might wait a while before doing this one.



    Thanks!
