I've got a T9 that I am about to undertake the same task on. Any issues you ran into?
None whatsoever.
I used a re-solder hot air gun to easily de-solder the old connector.
(Sometimes tough to do with just a soldering iron.)
Desolder, clean up the board (heat and alcohol to wipe away the plastic/rubber residue) , then solder on your new connectors and fire it up !
