Sony Vaio AR71S - replacing HDD with SSD

I'm hoping to replace one of the hard drives in my Sony Vaio AR71S laptop with an SSD.

Before I remove all the screws on the base and hopefully reveal the drives, can anyone point me to a service manual or a guide on how to disassemble the laptop and make the replacement. I don't want to do any damage to my laptop.

Help much appreciated,

Dazzer

Looking on Sony's web site would be the place to start.

Normally a good suggestion, but all they offer is a user's manual, which does not address hard drive removal. I did a bit of Googling and all I can find is some sites that allegedly sell service manuals.

That's as successful as I was, which was why I posted. I saw some YouTube clips, but they all seem to be for older Vaios. Thanks.
