[Elecraft] k2 kit progress - Woops! Did I really do that?

[Don Wilhelm]

Don,

Yes, email parts at elecraft.com, or since you have the part number, you 
can contact sales sales3 at elecraft.com or phone them at 831-763-4211 to 
order a replacement.

To remove it, cut the plastic or otherwise push it off the pins, and 
then remove the pins one at a time unless you have really good 
desoldering tools.
