When I went to go pick up the driver to open the iMac's neck, Jim (not his real name) was just finishing up the first one of these. The process was quite: He used a milling machine to drill the 3 holes and inserted the 3 pins into the holes. I believe he said the pins were 2mm in diameter which is just slightly too big to fit in the holes so he filed them down. The "bit" itself is fits into a 1/2 inch socket.
Important note: You need 2 of these. There are a total of 4 of these special screws in the neck (2 at the top and 2 at the bottom). The two at the top and the 2 at the bottom screw into each other so if you only have one bit, the other side will just spin and you will get nowhere.
Just wanted to let you know we're watching :D
