Need to replace my keyboard G7 7588

Due to Covid and other reasons I have been cleaning my keyboard a lot and I am now having major issues with keys sticking and I even broke my space bar. I want to replace the keyboard, I can buy it online for 26 dollars but how hard is it to install? I've seen videos of taking the laptop apart but they never show someone doing it to replace a keyboard.

    Here's the Service Manual with the instructions--not for the amateur. It requires dismantling the laptop and care putting it back together. Take photos along the way. 

    Try adding an external usb KB as a temporary fix.

    Here is the link to the Dell service manual.  Pages 76 to 79 detail how to remove and install a keyboard.
