It doesn't tell you to remove the big screw opposite the keyboard!
It's obvious I know, bu it's not obvious how much force it needs back in!
Think I broke mine..
I did my repair without removing it.

Not sure which screw you are referring to. Every screw that needed to be removed seemed to be clearly identified to me. Instructions and pictures were clear and I was able to complete this job in about 30 minutes. That included the time I took to replace the feet while I had the lower case removed for the trackpad job
Can you leave it in place?
I have a sensitivity problem with my new just installed Trackpad. Click works fine but the trackpad doesn't detect fingers the way it used to. For example if u use the tip of the finger (not the nail obviously) the arrow doesn't move at all but it works if u use the "fingerprint" part of the finger (flatter part). Any suggestions?
