this link from xlr8yourmac.com gives a pretty good idea and the process will be basically the same even on newer QS machines. The process is pretty easy. remove some screws and a few connectors.
If that doesn't help enough. I have a PDF file with bunches of info about G4 machines up to the first quicksilvers. get in touch and I can email it.
