Just take off the top cover, remove the screw, slide out the drive, and swap it. Simple as that.

I did this last week! Turn off and unplug your PS4, slide off the top cover, unscrew the phillips screw with the PlayStation icons, and pull out the hard drive enclosure. Replace and reverse the steps. Done!
