Post #57 has a good picture instruction,
Basically you're going to need a soldering iron (I have a weller soldering gun), solder, solder wick (in case you make a soldering mistake), I used hot glue, and a way to strip the wire (I used the scissors on my swiss army knife), the chassis,

1 Take the pad off, pull around the edges and you will see the lip of the pad, pull it off.
2 There should be four screws holding the cup together, unscrew those.
3 Pull the cups apart carefully you should see the insides of the cup, don't tear the wires.
4 I used my snips to cut the cable from the inside of the cup, just about long enough to reach where the cable is exiting the cup.
5 The strain relief has to be removed. There is a lip on the inside of the cup that is holding it in by tension. You need to get this out.
6 There are four screws holding down the driver cover. Unscrew these. You will need to snip out a section of the driver cover because it hits the jack. Put the jack inside the cup and figure out where it hits the driver cover. I used snips to cut out the section. I did not cut the cotton ring underneath the driver cover. Screw the driver cover back on.
7 There are two pegs close to where the cable exits, break off the left peg with pliars, you are doing this to make room for the jack.
8 You will need to carefully strip the big black covering of the cable, there are three wires under there that you will connect to the jack (again I used my swiss army knife).
9 Strip the wires and tin them. There is white threads that are in the way, this is enamel, you need to burn the coating off with a lighter. Loop the wire through the holes on the jack (center-black, red-right, green-left).
10 Solder the wires to the chassis, solder the holes closed.
11 Unscrew the top of the chassis ring, put the jack to the hole so the threads are sticking out.
12 screw the ring on the threads, I used superglue and a pair of pliars to get them on all the way.
13 I used hot glue to secure the jack on the inside.
14 close the cup, put the pads on, plug in new cable, and enjoy.
I think I got it all if not pm me.

Hey guys, speaking on behalf of all the amateurs out there, can someone please post a complete method to perform this procedure (including parts list). I know this may be a bit difficult, but i would really appreciate it, i really want to mod my m50's.
Many thanks !
