I CANNOT get past step six. No matter how hard I pry, the pieces are not coming apart. I have pressed and twisted my screwdriver so much that it is damaging the plastic around it yet the pieces still stay together. What do I do?

Gotta buy the available 360 opener tool, its dirt cheap on aliexpress. Attempting via a screwdriver will just trash your case and get you nowhere.

Bootleg Joe (Snapman) -

When I get to step 11, there is literally no opening to be able to spin the wheel manually to open it and replace the band. Step 12 shows 2 rectangular openings in the front of the DVD drive, mine is solid plastic with no open gaps. There must be different types of drives used. Right now I cannot get to the belt to replace it. Anyone see this other type of drive? Any thoughts?
