Why does nobody talk about how hard it is to swap Xbox rumble motors

I was swapping out the left stick on my Series X controller last week and figured I'd replace the rumble motors while I was in there (you know, just to freshen it up). The old ones were glued in so tight I snapped a plastic clip trying to pry them out, and now the shell doesn't close flush. Has anyone else dealt with those stubborn motors without breaking something?

I used to think it was no big deal but those glued motors changed my mind quick.

Ha, right? I've glued myself to enough projects to know that shortcut always backfires, just like my attempt at home haircuts.
