Hi, I am trying to open a Graphite iMac in order to replace the hard drive. (Slot loading CD model M5521 - semi transparent graphite color)

I can get the back two screws out and the front two out, but when I try to lift off the bottom cover, it seems like it is still attached somewhere on the front underneath the iMac logo and along the front edge above the slot loading CD-drive. There doesn't seem to be any more screws I can remove until I get this bottom cover off.

I've searched and search on Google, but can't find a How-To go dissassemble this iMac.

Please help, I'm desparate to repair this Mac as a Christmas gift. Any links or information would be appreciated.
