Taking Out the Battery
The hard drive as well as the RAM memory are located behind the battery on your MacBook. Flip your baby over and use a penny to turn the lock, then take your battery out.
Getting to It
There's not much to say here unscrew the three little screws and pull the L shaped bit of metal out.
Taking the Hard Drive Out
See the white tab bit, extend it and yank the hard drive out.
Putting the Hard Drive in
Unscrew the shiny metal with the plastic bit on screw it ontop of your new hard drive. Put in the new hard drive in and work backwards until your MacBook is compleate again.
