Bondi Blue CRT iMac. Dead hard drive.

How do I get into the case to replace the hard drive?

Two screws on bottom of the case only visible screws. Removing them does
not seem to allow case to be taken apart. How to do it?

Once inside the case, how to remove the hard drive?

Once I get access to the drive, can I use an ATA drive taken out of a G3
Powerbook to replace the dead drive?

If getting inside the iMac is too hard, will this machine boot from an
external USB hard drive?

iMac boots from CD, and seems to work fine except for dead hard drive.

Looked on Apple web site for service manual for the iMac, but service
manuals do not seem to ba available anymore for download.

Thanks in advance.

I found the answers. Please disregard original post.

For those interested, got the info from a discussion article on the
Apple web site which pointed me to a MacWorld article from 2001 at
