Thanks for the help. I was able to remove the RF subchassis (there were 14 wires to unsolder). I removed the side covers, but there are still MANY components that cannot be removed, including several resistors that are +50% high.

So, I am going to have to disassemble the unit to gain access. I ASSUME that the bandswitch shaft can be removed, connections from each section unsoldered, and the whole subassembly removed for service.

I also ASSUME one would not be advised to rotate the bandswitch wafers while they are removed!

I really don't see any other way. This unit is really packed, and I cannot ever SEE some of the parts that need to be changed.
