It's relatively easy Ted.  You don't even need to remove the case covers. 
You remove the front panel assembly by removing 3 screws on top, 2 screws on
bottom and then prying the FP assembly apart with a screwdriver in two slots
on the bottom.  R82 is visible at the lower left area of the reverse side of
the FP module.  You solder either a 0603 SMD or 1/8 W 6.8 ohm leaded
resistor across R82 (i.e. in parallel with the existing 10k).  If you're not
accustomed to SMD, the 0603 type is not a good one to learn on because it's
so small.  Elecraft supplies both resistors in the kit.
