Steps:

1. Set aside your keyboard and tools on a clean, uncluttered workspace.

2. With the keycap removal tool, grab the keycap by placing the tool's arms underneath two opposing corners, and lift.

3. The exposed switch has two grooves - a notch on the top, and a notch on the bottom.
4. Using the switch removal tool, slide it onto the switch until it lines up with the notches on the top and bottom, and then pull.
5. It is best to pull straight from the keyboard, rather than from an angle, to avoid damage to the pins.

6. Set aside the removed switch on a clean surface for access to the pins.
7. Bend the pins at a 15° angle downwards.
8. It doesn't have to be exact - a very slight bend will help.
9. If the keycap was non-functioning, you would replace it entirely at this stage.

10. After bending the pins, place the switch back into the empty slot.
11. Press firmly until you hear a solid click.

12. After the switch has been inserted, it is time to place the keycap back on.
13. Line up the plus symbol shown on both the switch and the keycap.
14. Press down firmly until the keycap is back in place.
