If you take an exact knife or similar and trace out a section around the feet, you can leave the rest of the sticker in tact. I found it easier to remove a small section of the sticker as it was fairly well adhered.
@Stephan Chan - Your suggestion was perfect. Cutting away the small section of sticker where the feet go is definitely the way to do it.
I agree with you @gusto5 (Stephen Chan) - cutting out a small circle in the sticker with a craft knife is much easier. Just to be on the safe side, since it did expose a little of the aluminum of the case, after I’d stuck the replacement foot and held it in place for 30 seconds, I put a small piece of Scotch tape over the hole I’d cut in the sticker on the back.
Received a quicker delivery of the feet replacement kit. Followed the suggestion and was quicker and boots (feet) flashed fit on bottom case.
If, like mine, all your feet have sheared off, you may be able to pry the center bit of plastic left in the lid at each foot out with tweezers. Obviously don't go digging deep or forcing things, but if you are lucky like I was then you don't need to remove all the screws and the lid. My new feet went in well and seem really well stuck. Make sure you clean the surface of the aluminium extremely well.
I didn't find any need to cut the plastic backing. I found that each foot easily came off the backing and I grabbed it with the tweezers.
I put a pencil mark on the lid showing the position of the little "key" nub and made a mark on the foot too, showing its position. This allowed me to align the "key" nub with it's hole easily.
After pealing away any feet, be sure to remove the clear film after applying the adhesive remover. I found this easiest to do with my finger name and then double checked that all four feet recessed areas were free of the clear plastic adhesive backing from the prior removed feet.
The black stickers are for electrical insulation. I patched mine with black insulating electrical tape.
The adhesive actually peels off quite easy. I didn't need the adhesive remover, it peeled off like a thin plastic film.

Quite cualquier pata que este rota o dañada.

Si la pata antigua es difícil de quitar, use un secador de pelo o una pistola de calor para aplicar un poco de calor al área y despegar el adhesivo.
There are large black stickers in the way of removing this little piece on my A1502 Early 2015 MBP. How do we proceed from here?
Hey Jason! You can remove those stickers entirely, or just peel them back enough to remove the foot and then cut away the peeled part of the sticker.
Is the larger feet shown in picture 1 of this section for the MacBook Pro. I am assuming the second picture refers to the Retina MacBook Pro?
All the pictures and text in this guide refer to the Retina MacBook Pro! The The Unibody MacBook Pro has its own feet replacement guide.
I think what Khushal meant was that picture 1 doesn’t represent the lower case foot hole of the Retina model, the hole left after the removal of the foot is too big. While the 2nd picture seems indeed accurate.

Frote la cavidad de la pata con eliminador de adhesivo para eliminar el adhesivo que haya quedado.
The adhesive is on both sides of a clear plastic sheet that sits in the foot cavity. It is easily missed but appears shiny when holding the case up to light after removing the rubber foot. If you look at the image in Step 9 below you can also see the sheet on the case side of the rubber foot (note this is not the same thing as the plastic sheet that the feet are attached to, this one is very thin and has adhesive on both sides). I applied adhesive remover twice and let it sit for a few minutes to dissolve the adhesive under the pad, then scrubbed with a bit of pressure to get that clear sheet removed from the foot cavity, but am glad I did.
For me, the adhesive remover was not strong enough, but I was able to apply acetone nail polish remover to remove the remaining adhesive before wiping it down with alcohol.
Thank you so much, James, for mentioning the clear adhesive! I would’ve completely missed it had I not seen your comment!!
My adhesive remover didn't work, but what did work was gently scraping with a knife. This is for the clear adhesive mentioned by James.

Limpie la cavidad de la pata con una toallita de alcohol isopropilo para remover el residuo del limpiador y preparar la area para el adhesivo en la nueva pata.
I used a paper towel (or a tissue would work) to mop up the bulk of the adhesive remover first. And then I went back with the alcohol swap to get any remaining adhesive remover and let the area air dry.

Alineé la nueva pata dentro de la cavidad.
-
Pon el pie abajo mientras lo deja alineado correctamente.
-
Compruebe que la alineación esta correcta desde el interior de la tapa. El nudo de alineación debería de ser visible por el agujero de alineación.
Matching the alignment nub with the small hole is easier if you align the point of the tweezers with the nub. The tweezer tip then acts as a reference point for matching the nub with its hole.

On the inside of the cover of my A1502 Early 2015 MBP, two of the four feet are covered by large black stickers. So, how do we remove the little piece left behind when we remove any foot that is damaged? Do we just cut through the large black sticker or remove it?
This review was helpful, but it didn’t mention the black stickers on the inside of the lower case. I ended up poking a small hole through the black stickers to get the remaining pieces of previous feet out.
Just peel them back as far as needed, then re-stick them back when you're done. In my case, one did re-stick easily, while the other one didn't, I used a small piece of electrical tape to stick it back. It doesn't really matter that much, either way.
I picked the broken pieces caught underneath the stickers through the little hole from the outer side of the case with pointy tweezers.

Jason and Taylor, the stickers you mention are on Step 4 of this guide.
Is it really necessary to remove the whole cover of the mac to change the feet? Can't I just remove the old ones and glue the new ones in place? Thanks!
If you can peel the old ones without anything left over in the holes, then I suppose it could work, although it would be difficult to position the new feet exactly at the right orientation, since there's this small alignment nub, if you can't see it from the other side, it would be quite hard to align it just right. I don't really understand the purpose of them, since the feet look quite symmetrical.
I would caution against doing it from the outside only. The old feet are attached to a small ring on the inside. If you remove the foot from the outside, that little ring gets lost in the case and can potentially get into the fan.
I did not remove the stickers. Those actually caught the little ring and I could pick its pieces through the little whole with tweezers from a kit after ripping off the single original foot left on my machine.

If don’t have one of those neat project mats, then you can use small pieces of flattened blu-tack to hold the screws. If you arrange them in the shape of your mac book cover, and put the screws down methodically, you can get a one-to-one mapping of the screws to the correct screw holes.

Or you can use an ice tray where you put the screws and the parts in separate bays in the same order as they come in the instructions.

This is great! I used a small magnetic white board, and wrote on it to identify the parts as I went. This whole process, from the fast shipment to the great instructions to the complete, high quality, tool kit has been great. I’m typing this comment on my resurrected laptop. Thank you! Sue

It would be a good idea if people recorded in the comments which screws go where so that, if someone lost their screw positions, they could recover them from the comments.
