Hardest part is unclipping the clips XD
I have completed this but there are ways this could be done better and safely. I have left comments under each step. Step 6 to disconnect the battery should be after Step 10. In my case, the connector did not come out and the pull tab nearly separated creating a risk for damage if I had proceeded further. Removing the shield gives much better access so you can wiggle the connector out using your nail..
Step 8 is to separate the cable adhesive. Every build may have different amount of adhesive applied making this a risky venture. In trying to separate the cable, a lot of force was needed in my deck which could have damaged the cable. A guide on YouTube was to simply work around this. I wish I had seen it prior to have completely avoided this risk.
All in all, I will say a version 2 of this guide is needed.
