Introduzione
Use this guide to replace your Retina MacBook 2016's lower case assembly together with the battery as a single unit.
The battery is strongly glued into place and removing it from the lower case is beyond the scope of this guide, but it may be removed with a liquid solvent and gentle prying.

This guide was perfect! This is my first mac repair, after a couple of iPhone screens and battery replacement so it's definitely a step up in difficulty. The guide was very clear and easy to follow. Top notch! I went from a 1370 cycle battery to 300 in about 30-40min of repair and a 50 pounds bottom plate with battery!
Thanks Adam and thank you iFixit for providing all of this! I am slowly getting addicted to this repair thing :)
