It’s not as difficult as it may seem. I forget if there is a heat sink attached to one leg of the I/O Shield cover but I believe that’s so. Take a picture of it before you take it apart and keep the various screws separated if they are different sizes (can’t remember).
You just have to locate the screws under the heat sink and the I/O shield and then the whole assembly come off. From there remove the two silver screws holding the card enclosure in place.
Use care removing the Wi-Fi antenna connectors, I always use a plastic spluger to get under one edge and gently lift until it comes loose. Getting them back on the new card can be a little tricky but again use patience and not force. The very end of the circular brass connector needs to line up with the post on the card.
