Replacing DVD drive in Acer Aspire 5550AWXMI or 3670AWXMI?

Does anyone know how to open these Aspire 5550/3670 machines and get at the
DVD drive so it can be replaced?

Want to kick out the crappy Matshu****a UJ-850S drive and replace with
region free Pioneer K05.

Thanks!

Do you even know if it will fit? It isn't like working on a desktop.

I'll know once I've opened it up and checked it out :-) But opening it is
the problem.

Usually these drives will fit (it's not one of those notebooks where only
9.5mm space is available, a standard drive of 12.7 will fit) and if a
plastic bracket is needed - again I don't expect this with an Acer - it can
usually be reused from the old drive. But I'll have to open it first and
see.
