MacBook – Transfer SSD from MacBook Pro 2009 to MacBook Pro 2012

hard drivemacbook prossdtime-machine

I'm upgrading from a MacBook Pro to a 2012 model. I installed a SSD drive on the 2009 unit. A few days ago, I got the black screen of death due to the logic board failing. I back up every 30 days using Time Machine, but was on day 27 or so, which means I need to capture many work days of files; etc.

How do I swap out the 750GB HDD in the 2012 for the SDD in my 2009 with my 2009 not booting up?
