[ICOM] OK, so has anybody on here replace the trimmer caps on the IC-471? any other work?

He doesn't want to tackle it, and being a technician I understand why. He would have to charge me more than I had to pay for my first car. I would like to know what others know before I make it worse, I have some trimmers ordered and not sure they will physically fit, trying to knock the learning curve down some. It would help if Icom had a maintenance manual. They never had one out the door to the public. There are a couple of sites on the web that claim to have one, but be careful, they are not safe, do not download anything WARNING!!!! I have been assured there is no manual by someone I trust completely, Pete "the manual man"

I suspect that Scott Malcolm at MTS could probably do it for you.  I hope the following URL still works.

may have so helpful suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
