Thanks! This could come in handy. Hopefully I never have to take mine apart, though.

That's great, thanks. I took mine apart to replace the housing once. Now, I have to replace my Dad's for him. I was hesitant to do it because I lost the first video. Thanks for posting it!

I just recently edited the thread and added an alternative parts supplier.

I urge people to check out this new supplier and support them. I also added a promo code to receive an instant discount!

They should be the same. Do not quote me, as I do not have direct experience. I think the torx driver size may be different... but, once again, I am not completely sure.
