Yo, take out the blue screw with a small Phillips screwdriver, swap it with the new one, then screw it back in. Don't forget to backup yo' data first though!

First, turn off your PS3 and unplug all cables. Locate the drive bay cover on the side. Use a screwdriver to remove the blue screw, then slide out the drive tray and swap in the new HDD. Easy peasy!

Honestly, just buy an SSD. Same process, better performance.
