[ARC5] Tuning Capacitor Removal - Help, please!

[Andy Young]

I have a BC-946 whose antenna connector has been bent down by 45 degrees in transit, distorting the front panel.
I have concluded that the only way to straighten the panel will be to remove the tuning capacitor. Can I have some advice on its removal from someone who has done it before, please, before I break something!
In particular, I assume I need to remove the dial by getting a socket on the big nut on the front - what will react the torque I apply, I don't want to strain anything.
Apart from unsoldering the wires, is there anything other than the screws on the front panel holding the capacitor in place?
Many thanks!

Andy
