    • To ensure that everything is de-energized and won't turn on while you're working, it is recommended that you disconnect the battery.

    • Grab the clear plastic pull tab attached to the battery connector and pull it parallel to the board toward the front edge of the Air.

    • Do not lift upward on the connector as you disconnect it or you risk damage to the connector socket.

    • Gently lift the end of the SSD about half an inch and pull it straight out of its socket on the logic board.

    • When reinstalling the SSD, be sure it is properly seated before reinstalling its retaining screw.

Fairly straight forward once you get the right screwdrivers. Took me less than 10 minutes.

Very simple and straight forward replacement. First-party SSD replacement can be found on ebay (typically removed from parted-out MacBook Airs). Currently they're aren't any third-party parts available.

Don't forget to re-attach the battery cable before closing up the underside... not that I did or anything ;-/

The Relevant Parts list all has incorrect links. Bait & Switch??

Examples:

"$199.95 Macbook Air 11" and 13" (Mid 2013/Early 2014) SSD, 256 GB"

Actually supplies: 128GB USED

"$349.95 Macbook Air 11" and 13" (Mid 2013/Early 2014) SSD, 512 GB"

Actually supplies: 256GB USED

Whoops! Looks like we didn't update the details on those parts when we updated the part itself, sorry about that!
