Lower cover removal help

[kendagenius]

Tried to take off my lower cover of my mini and broke the plastic pieces that goes into the drone

what tool would you guys recommend to remove the plastic pieces so that I can replace it with a new cover?

 

[Starz]

Plastic pieces are covering the threaded end of a screw?

 

[kendagenius]

It’s not a screw! Here’s the new piece for comparison .

The first picture is a little fuzzy.
More pics of the plastic piece that’s giving you the problem will help.
thanks

left piece is broke, right piece is the new one . If you look closely you can see that the left one is broken.

Screws. Check the 1:50 mark on the video.
Top shell would need to be removed before the bottom small cover to access the two screws you’re dealing with.

Ohhhhh I see now. Where can I find the tool kit he used to take off the top piece?

The pry tool is called a spudger. I have the toolkit Starz linked to, it has everything you need. I've used it a lot repairing my 2012 Macbook Pro Retina; replaced the battery and keyboard, fixed the card reader. Had the whole thing apart and reassembled successfully. It also has the tools you need to work on smartphones.

The video guy uses a metal spudger. The kit contains both plastic and metal pry tools; if I were doing it I'd start with the softer, plastic ones as the safer option. Failing that, move on to the metal ones.

Very handy kit Starz, got Mine after you showed me that link.
Hadn’t had to use it as it’s a take along for me as I have my work bench but for the money you can’t beat it.?

Also have seen people use a credit card or old hotel key card as a pry tool.
