Analog Stick Replacement

[Bibbed]

I looking for a way to replace the analog stick for my gamecube controller, and not just the gray stick part, but the actual mechanism under it. As the controllers have been used for a long time the analog stick is far too loose, and I need to tighten or replace it. Any one know how this is done?

I can't replace the entire board inside the controller either, because the controllers in question have unique tips (the part that plugs into the console). So I need to either switch the stick part or figure out how to switch the tip to a new cord. Advice anyone? Thanks.

Get a new controller...?

why do you need to keep the tips?

They're imported controllers. Three to be exact. Any body have any real advice?

The tip needs to match the controller BTW. Thats why I need to keep the tip.
