I recently did my 2013 MBP, and while it was a massive pain that left my hands hurting afterwards, I was able to do it without solvents or having to dismantle the entire system like iFixit said I would need to. Probably spent about 20 to 30 minutes using some old sacrificial credit cards to break the glue & pry the cells out.
