The heat gun he mentions in the beginning is not required to get to this point, but a hot air soldering station will be to remove the surface mount port, which he describes as "Qui' uh tricky job". I think I'd remove the speaker while doing the desoldering work.

I haven't seen an N9 specific USB desoldering tutorial, but there are generic USB connector swapping videos that should help.
