iBook hard drives

[shauggy]

Hi guys....I just picked up a 500mhz G3 ibook, and it works great other than only having a 10gb hard drive. I read one website that said they don't sell iBook hard drive because they were terribly hard to remove, but I've take apart and rebuilt laptops before (I had an old junky Compaq that needed some attention). I wanted to upgrade to about a 40gb drive or so, but is it something that a guy with a minor amount of experience could do, or should I not attempt it?
