When putting the plastic battery rig back in on my second time doing this, I bent one of the little plastic pins that fits into a hole in the PCB. Definitely want to be careful with that. To make it a bit easier, I unscrewed the bottom port PCB part of the way so I could take the bottom plastic housing and put the plastic battery rig in straight. It made it a lot easier.

No need to take out the motor, just use sharp tweezers and grab the connector (NOT the wires) and with small wiggling pull it out. Worked for mine.

Worked great! Thanks for this. I did not need to take out the black battery / motor piece. Tweezers worked great to remove and install the battery cable

Any recommended online / physical store to buy new batteries for this because ifixit doesn’t have them?
