A friend donated his P5s whose left channel had died (like mine). I was able to use his working right driver on the left side.

Remove the earpads from your P5s.
-
Removed driver in centre.

-
Each side uses three Phillips screws, which are covered in fabric. You can either gently scrape away the fabric in the areas indicated, or insert your driver directly. I did the former but it can bunch up the fabric.
-
This is the right side.

-
Gently flip each driver area to the side - it will still be connected to the headband with two soldered wires.
-
De-solder each wire to fully separate the driver area. (Already completed and driver removed in this step.)
-
-
-
The drivers are inconveniently glued in place, but can be relatively easily removed with some elbow grease.
-
I used an iOpener to soften the glue, along with a Jimmy and metal spudger to score the glue around the circumference.
-
Each driver area has a cutout section, as indicated, which will assist you with prying out the driver.
-
Try to work the driver out only by its sides. I pushed my metal spudger underneath and pried upward and damaged the driver grille.
-
-
-
Swap the working driver from one set to the other set and solder it in place.
-
Voila!
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order and solder the new driver back in place.
