I haven't tried it with the newer (aluminum) PB's, but I swapped  
drives a few times on my old TiBook. It's not a difficult procedure  
at all there, but I recommend you read over the instructions very  
carefully a few times before you start, and make sure you go slow and  
have the proper tools on hand before you start.

At one point we also replaced the DVD combo drive with a DVD burner,  
and had to make a trip halfway through to Canadian Tire to get a  
smaller Torx driver.
