[Yaesu] FR101 S meter bulb replacement??

I cannot advise you on the mechanical assembly of your radio.  However, I
have given up replacing dial lamps long ago, instead I use colourless LEDs.

High brightness LEDs are available in all shapes, sizes and colours and you
will find a suitable replacement for your meter lamp.  Measure the voltage,
calculate the correct resistor value and you will have replaced the lamp for
the last time.  You should include a diode in series with the LED if the
lamp supply in your radio is AC.

Also, LEDs do not generate heat to turn plastic lenses and faceplates
yellow.

Can someone clue me in on the S meter bulb replacement on the old FR101
receiver?
I'd bet it is the same with the FT101.
Sure looks like I have to remove the meter and take it apart to change the
bulb!!
Could that be the case?
Thanks for any insite to this.
