all you gotta do is bend the plastic cap on the motor up, pull out the clip holding in the magnets, slide out both magnets (mark them so you know which side is which) slide the new ones in, insert clip, bend down the plastic, use flathead to bend metal back over plastic to secure it, and your done.
you can even do the same process and put the xmods magnets back in the spinbrush motor and reassemble the sb.

I did this mod last night, but it took me like 30min not 5. Everything was easy except geting that U pin that holds the magnets in place out.
After this point ALL problem were my own faulty ability to work with tiny stuff: 
Other than that it was easy - well till i jacked up one of my brushes while trying to pry out that freakin U clip. I ended up breaking the copper strip on the brush trying to get the right contact patch on the com
Since its my only motor i said wth and soldered the accual brush back on the copper peice and then tried my best to get the contact with the com right - it was still way off but i put it back to gether and it accualy ran!
Now i did this with the stock motor that came with my xmod. I had advanced the timing and was able to beat my friend's stage2 topspeed motor in a drag race.(he did have AWD tho) I thought that timing gave you rpm but i took him off the line every time and his top speed was just a hair faster than mine.
Now i'll have to race him with my "stage1 advtiming-SB-gettobrush" and see how much the crappy brush job is hurting me. - but it feels about the same.
Some day i'll fork out the cash and get the stage2 and do the same mods - minus the getto-solder-brush deal
