Got the car back in the garage in 2019 and has been helping other people do it since.
Tried this over the weekend and it worked first time. Thanks for writing it up properly.

Upvoted for the safety notes alone.
Great find. Did not know this channel existed.
Can confirm, the cheap part is the one that fails. Replaced mine twice before reading this.
Unplug it. Always. Takes two seconds and the worst case otherwise is a trip to the ER.
Glad it helped.
Yep, same here. The second time is always faster.

Would this work on the older model? Mine is about ten years older than the one shown.
Small addition: wear eye protection for the part where you pry it. Learned that one the hard way.
Should be the same procedure, the part moved slightly but the steps match.

The embedded video is clearer than the official service manual, which is a little embarrassing for the manufacturer.
Question: do you need to disconnect power for this or is it safe to leave it plugged in?
The "what went wrong" section is the most useful part of this. More people should do that.

Nice. What did the whole thing end up costing you?

Solid. Sending this to my brother who keeps asking me to fix his.

Right around what the post says, give or take shipping.
