Don't know if there's a site but I have been one of the people saying
that it can be done with flipping.
After seeing Frank do the job I realize that we were talking about
different things though.
I 'just' put in a washer and some grease, Frank does a much more
thorough job for which you have to desolder.

In that case you might not want to do this one, because the soldering
involved is very basic.
Even if you would do it by flipping the board, you should have a basic
'feel' for dissecting' electronics in my view.
