How to Install a Hard Drive in a PS3
First, turn off your PS3 and unplug all the cables. Find the hard drive bay on the side of your console, remove the cover, and unscrew the blue screw. Pull out the metal caddy, swap the old drive for the new one, and reverse the steps to reassemble. Easy peasy!

I had to do this last month. Make sure you've backed up your data first! Then follow the steps to remove the cover, unscrew the caddy, swap drives, and put everything back together. If you need specifics, this guide from Sony should help: [Sony PS3 Hard Drive Replacement Guide](https://www.playstation.com/support/).
Don't forget to format the new drive once it's installed, or your PS3 won't recognize it. You can do this in the console's settings menu.
Just pay someone to do it for you. Seriously.
