Thanks, the clip was giving me problems and this gave me the confidence that I was on the right path. :D
Again this autor doesn't understand the meaning of replacing, he just shows us how to dismantle the headset, not how to reinstall it correctly. Useless guide...
@jasonbouchard Install by following the steps in reverse....it's not rocket science
