Surface Pro 2? You need a heat gun, and a load of plastic picks.
You will probably destroy the surface during the operation.That gum you like is coming back in style.0 -

The chaps at IFixIt have a teardown of the original Surface:

It looks surprisingly easy - the case is held together with screws, and although the battery is glued in place, it's not glued too hard.
The Surface Pro and subsequent Surfaces require a heat gun, though. Good luck!0 -
Wow - battery gone already?0

Well, how to do it is above, but if you bought ANY Microsoft Surface from a retailer, they're ALL young enough that you should reasonably expect the battery to have lasted longer than this - SOGA.0
