I'm somewhat surprised how much stuff has to come out to get at that shoulder button, it's a lot more involved than when I replaced my trigger - but still worth it I think. The ifixit guide is very good.
Yeah the disassembly for a lot of electronics can be mind numbing and get overwhelming. Ifixit is great for that and I like to take a lot of pictures as I’m removing things to keep everything documented so I can go back to those pictures if I get lost. That’s saved me a few times actually. It definitely takes time but I’ve saved a lot of money just learning how to solder and work with tiny components
