MacBook Pro – Correct Pentalobe Screwdriver Size for MacBook Air Model A1370

hardwaremacbook pro

I think it is 1.2 mm based on results returned by eBay, however, it would be nice if someone could confirm that this is the correct size and not the 0.8 mm

Macbook Air MacBookAir4,1 (11-inch, Mid 2011)

The goal is to remove the outer-lower casing (pentalobe screws) as well as the SSD screw (unknown screw type)

Best Answer

Based on information from iFixit, you need a P5 Pentalobe Screwdriver, which is 1.2mm, as shown in this MacBook Air 11" Mid 2011 Solid-State Drive Replacement guide to remove the lower case.

You need a T5 Torx driver for the SSD.

From the Obsidian Menu Bar page:

To give the Clock, Battery and Fast user switching menu items readable
text, copy WhiteUIServer.menu by Alex Zielenski to somewhere on your
harddrive and open it. Also add it to System Preferences> Users & Groups>
Login Items to keep the text tray.

"Somewhere" on your hard disk could be, say, in your Documents folder. Basically any place that you know where it is and are unlikely to muck with it later, e.g., move it. When you've placed it where you want it to be, double click it.

That article is a bit old, but the basics are the same in later versions of OS X.
