    • With some added pressure, push down and outward in order to free and remove the rumble motors from their socket.

    I spent an hour trying to push, pull, pry and hammer the motors out with no luck. They're really stuck in there. I finally solved it by wedging the iFixit jimmy tool into the top where you can see the adhesive residue, then sliding across to break the seal. After that they popped out easy.

I’d recommend adding removal instructions for the touchpad also

AlexMorse -

the rumble packs are stuck with an adhesive on my controller. The best way to remove the rumble pack in this case? thanks

Ka Erd -

I'm most likely way too late, but if there is an adhesive, I would probably use something that breaks glue down and is safe for electronics
