Welcome to Phorum. Don't let the tar caps worry you. They are not that bad to do. There are different ways to do them. Some people just unbolt and turn them over to get at the tar. I like to take the cap block out and then remove the tar and restuff with new caps. Just take pics and make a good drawing of where the wires that connect to the solder tabs on the blocks go and do one at a time.
