Follow this guide to replace the charging assembly for the Pixel 3. The charging assembly contains the USB-C port as well as some antenna connectors, and is layered underneath the loudspeaker. This requires removing the loudspeaker first, which will compromise the loudspeaker’s ingress gasket.

is the adhesive for the back of the phone reusable, or do I need to buy a replacement adhesive for reassembly?
It depends on the age of your phone it seems - the older the phone, the less resuseable the existing adhesive. I used gasket maker to reseal my phone, in part because I did not want to heat my new battery up when trying to reseal the back cover. I would advise getting some additional adhesive if you want a water-tight assembly.
Best to order a new back phone lid, as my back lid shattered when trying to prise it off, despite repeated heating to uncomfortably hot. Also, if you’re replacing the charging logic board because of the ‘unrecognised analogue device’ messsage, I still got the same message AFTER having put everything back together having replaced the logic board. If you shatter the back lid of the phone and have to replace it, the finger print scanner and lens covers are all prisable off and reapplicable to the new cover (with a little heating). But this requires care. Make sure to replace the battery also - because of the ka-fafel of opening this barely user-repairable phone (Cheers Google!). I ended up using gasket maker silicone (yes the stuff I use for reassembling my motorbike engine) to seal everything. Seems to have worked a treat. Good luck - you’ll need it!
I swapped out the USB-C charging port and battery at the same time. Hopefully I can get another two years out of the phone now. If you are just changing this port, then I would recommend changing the battery too. The battery replacement kit comes with new adhesive to reseal the back panel.
can I do this with a heat gun instead of the iOpener? what do I set the temperature to?
