I can't find the rumble motor inside the Wii U gamepad

Since the motor of my wii U gamepad startded to squeak, I would try to put some oil inside, but once I open the Wii U gamepad I can't find the motor, maybe I am stupid, but really, I can't find it, where is it?

I was just about to search my old picture reading that thread title....

The motor really can't be overlooked. Opening without care will tear the cable.

Ok, how can I get it out? there is a plastic cover that surround the entire motor

Scroll down a little further in the thread I linked, KleinesSinchen has another couple photos that show where the clips are for that plastic thing.
