It ain't hard. if he's a modder i'm surprised he need instructions.

1) Take apart wii and get to the dvd drive

2) Undo 2 screws on the dvd drive board, unclip all the bus ribbon connectors, and lastly unhook the wires which are hard soldered from their 'routing' clips... no you can move the board to the side

3) Undo 1 screw (now exposed) holding the metal cover plate and unhook the 4 small side clips holding it in place, gently manuover the plate out

4) With metal plate removed undo the small screw and bracket which covers/holds the left had side rail in place, view with the worm arm mechanism to the left, the guide rail can now be moved out via the hole in the casing where the bracket was covering

5) Lift out laser assembly and swap the worm arm guide from old laser to new one (1 tiny screw)

6) Refit by reversing instruction

7) Don't forget to remove the static protection solder blob on the laser ribbon connector (near where it fits to the board).. only applies if the laser is brand new.

Note.. specific instructions make it sound harder than it is, basically it's just remove a few screws, withdraw slide rail.
