Heat sink is easy, however Touch Bar is not.

Basically you need to swap the entire top case. Nobody seems to sell standalone Touch Bar units. I’m not sure about software pairing either.

The button is tied to the logic board and can be swapped over to the new uppercase. If you damage it... New system time.
