Keep in mind I get nervous disassembling something I have no business taking apart, I tried to install new panel bulbs in the radio and gave up, awfully complex to disassemble. The manual does not cover disassembly of the radio, it shows that you stuff the filter in it's intended hole, I think I can do that part but getting to that stage is the problem. Any help, ideas welcome.

I installed a narrow CW filter in  my IC275. It was routine as far as I 
can recall. It was over ten years ago. But it is soldered in making it 
necessary to remove the circuit board to get access to the solder side. 
Lots of hold down screws as well as plugs that should be removed.

I agree that the bulbs are a bear to replace in this radio. The filter 
is a lot easier.

good luck
