opening up 2010 mbp

[mmdpkaaa]

Hi guys have just ordered my first mac, 15" i5 hi res AG and have ordered a 160gb intel x25m SSD. Would like to know which size/type screwdrivers are needed to open up the back of the mbp and also the mounting screws for the HDD.
thanks

Get a good ph#00 and a torx t8 (or was is t6?) and you're set.

The various guides at iFixIt tend to tell you the tools you need.

T6. Home Depot sells a cheap Husky set for $5 with the sizes you need. Unless you plan to open and close a lot of MBP the HD set will do just fine. A T6 is a bit hard to find. If you want a nicer pair Sears sells the Craftsman brand for about $4 for the T6; the should have a 00 as well. -
