Wow that wasn't so bad. I tested it at a few intermediate points and managed not to screw anything up...
...that is until I went to align it. The 2nd RF adjustment nut was stuck tight and of course I knew it needed just a bit more torque to loosen it...

Well that's going to be a bit of a problem.
It looks like the threaded portion is actually a small bolt that has been soldered or welded to the body of the tuning capacitor. So the next step will be to take that off and apart.
