John,

The 160/80 meter mod that improves IMD dynamic range requires replacing 
a total of four parts in the T/R switching and one of the BP filters.  
The mod would not be overly difficult for someone proficient with SMD 
rework but I wouldn't recommend it for someone who isn't.  To answer 
your question, trying to break off the existing parts would most likely 
damage the board.  The areas are also pretty dense, so soldering iron 
access is a bit tricky in a couple spots.
