Good tutorial! Two things I noticed on my teardown, on step 6 the white grounding wire has two black tabs on either side you can lift with a guitar pick, much better than pulling on the wire casing; on step 12 the picture is misleading as you pull the plug out towards the middle of the body. Those are very minor things, this was an extremely helpful tutorial! Not for the faint of heart aha
