Weekend wrench. Keeps a 2004 Civic and a 1998 Ranger alive out of spite. Brakes, suspension, and reading codes properly.
Question: do you need to disconnect power for this or is it safe to leave it plugged in?
Can confirm, the cheap part is the one that fails. Replaced mine twice before reading this.
The "what went wrong" section is the most useful part of this. More people should do that.
Upvoted for the safety notes alone.
Bookmarking. I have exactly this problem and was about to pay someone.
Tried this over the weekend and it worked first time. Thanks for writing it up properly.
Solid. Sending this to my brother who keeps asking me to fix his.

Would this work on the older model? Mine is about ten years older than the one shown.
Followed along, got it done in about twice the time quoted, but it is done and it works.
Nice. What did the whole thing end up costing you?

Small addition: wear eye protection for the part where you pry it. Learned that one the hard way.
I did the same repair last month and your step 3 is where I got stuck. Wish I had this then.
Right around what the post says, give or take shipping.

Unplug it. Always. Takes two seconds and the worst case otherwise is a trip to the ER.
The embedded video is clearer than the official service manual, which is a little embarrassing for the manufacturer.

Glad it helped.

Should be the same procedure, the part moved slightly but the steps match.

This is the kind of post that makes this place worth it.
