email them with your request and see what they quote...

it sounds like you need a "non-marking pry tool" as well

you're welcome

also there are lots of replacement housings floating around places like eBay and amazon marketplace - but beware as they may not be genuine Apple, but instead poor quality aftermarket knockoffs.

genuine Apple spares will be a bit expensive, but at least you'll get the real thing not a cheap replica.

the site i quoted above also says they are an independent certified Apple service centre, so depending on their price it may be better getting them to do it with the correct tools instead. Unless you are confident you know what you are doing now and not mess up next time.

You dismantled it because it froze?!

You could have just held down the middle button and the top of the scroll wheel for 5 seconds and it would have forced rebooted it.
