Use an iFixit opening pick to unclip the bottom cover.
It is ok to run the picks along the edges since there is nothing connected to the bottom cover. It is easier to start from the sides and then work your way forward.
After unclipping the bottom case, pull from the back of the laptop upwards using the lip of the bottom case as a handle.
