Follow this guide to replace the USB-C port on your iPad Pro 11" 1st gen.
If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Some photos in this guide show the screen disconnected and fully removed. This isn't necessary for the procedure, so this guide skips those steps. If you wish to remove the screen, follow this guide.
Some photos show the battery connector blocked with two card strips. While this is an optional method, it's more reliable to fully discharge the battery. Ignore this visual discrepancy as you work through the guide.

Left side of the screen display cables are EXTREMELY fragile. I am an experienced iPad tech and have worked on literally thousands of iPads. Did my first iPad Pro 11 1st gen today and ended up with a black line across the LCD.
Reversing the whole heating the adhesive part is pretty easy--it sort of does that on its own. But, putting the kit back together so it stays that way probably is a bit more than just "follow these instructions in reverse order." Simply hitting "reverse" on the hair drier, for example, will not get the adhesive to hold the edges in place.
