The Retina models have everything mounted to the motherboard. You can't replace anything without replacing the entire board.

Pardon my ignorance.

It's possible I just need to know where to purchase them, the SSD is one of the only parts to not be soldered on

I see now, I was under the impression that the SSD was either mounted to the board or not replaceable due to a completely proprietary design. OWC sells the drives:

And they as well as iFixit have guides:
