What about removing the Dpad? i really need help.

I’m sorry but, I have to say that the reassembly process is harder than simply ‘follow the instructions in reverse’; if you try and place the half with the buttons, the buttons fall out or end up misaligned ; and if you use the other half, the rubber covers and the tumblers will fall out.

Again, this guild comes off a little too simple, there’s more to it.

Christopher Mali-Martinez - Reply Share

the circuit board comes off the other half. You can stack them very easily. You're simply incorrect.

No not really I agree with homeboy cause I just took mine apart to fix drifting and the one piece clip for RB and Lb doesn’t just fit in there right
