6mm X 2mm rare earth magnet

X-Box elite metal D-Pad Hat

Step 1:

Remove 4 screws. These are screwed into plastic, and made of cheap metal. Use firm pressure, and go slow.

Step 2:

Use a pry tool. This is an easy spot for entry.

Step 3:

4 more screws and a rumble pack connector. Again into plastic, be judicious. R2 will come loose.

Step 4:

Pry here and pull the RB off.

Step 5:

Remove PCB. CAUTION: Ribbon cable is TINY. When you remove the PCB, unfold it like you were opening the cover of a book. You can leave it attached or flip the clasp on the PCB to remove it. I removed it the first time, but it was painful getting it in and closed. Remove the controller release button.
