Introduction
Installing a Wii Remote motherboard requires the removal of the front cover plate and allows access to the B button.
What you need

Flip the Wii Remote over so the battery cover faces you.
-
Push up on the bottom tab.
-
Remove the battery cover.
-

-
-
With the flat end of a spudger, gently apply pressure to the tabs located on left side of the controller.
-
Open the front plate like a book.
Mine is not opening like a book? What do I do?
It stops short of explaining replacing rechargeable battery. Unless you’re referring to the AA’s which don’t involve removing cover

Using the connector port, gently lift the motherboard about 2 cm from the base.

This is useless because you can't just buy a motherboard. May as well buy a new remote for $20
Where can i buy a brand new and original (not fake of course) wii remote for $20?
You can buy a first party Wii remote plus for under $50 at Walmart, best buy, or online on Amazon or on Nintendos website
What is the dimension is the motherboard? I want to make a custom motherboard for the housing but I haven't managed to get int the wiimote yet as I am waiting for my tri screwdriver
Just adding a comment to dispute the above suggestion that “this is useless”. I used this guide to help repair a damaged Wii Controller which had had some battery leakage onto the mainboard. I was able to open the controller, clean up (using vinegar and water) the battery corrosion and re-assemble the controller. It works fine again now and I used this guide to find out that there are plastic clips holding the case together.
I can't sync my Wii balance board. and remote at the same time. when the Wii remotes sync the balance board goes out and vice versa
