Is there a way to replace the trackpad on MB pro retina 15/mid

@mayer what tool is being used in the second video?

Please give me a time reference on the video. You do know that you do not need to replace the keyboard or remove the logic board, go straight to the battery removal.

@mayer apologies at 4:59, for the trackpad

See update. iFixit calls it a metal sponger, actually it is a dental mixing tool.
