My right speaker has gone bad and I’ve ordered a new one from ifixit. (Never had the popping problem that others have reported…)
(Right speaker rattles, sounds quieter and bassy, while the left speaker is still clear. This just started about to weeks ago.)
QUESTION: Which ifixit video guide should I use for replacing the speaker?

Follow this guide up to step 15, then find where the right speaker is located. Use some Isopropyl (Rubbing) Alcohol to soften the adhesive holding the speaker in place, then disconnect the speaker connector and remove the speaker. After cleaning the spot down and making sure the isopropyl alcohol has dried, take the plastic off of the speaker adhesive, then stick the replacement speaker down. Follow the guide from step 15 backwards to reconnect the battery.
