IPhone – replace the headphone jack on an iPhone SE

headphonesiphonerepair

I have the tip of a headphone jack stuck in the headphone socket in a brand new iPhone SE.

I went to Apple looking for a repair and they said that it wasn't repairable and that I'd have to spend £200 (~$290) on a replacement.

I have found instructions on how to replace an iPhone 5s headphone jack here. Does anyone know if I will be able to follow the same instructions for the 5s using a SE? Also, will I be able to use the same part as it's the same form factor?
