OK, on to the condenser blocks, but first, a shameless plug. If you don't have these condenser tools, you really need to get a set, they make this job so much easier. A little twist of the cutter tool cuts the wires, heat the block and push the guts out with the punch tool. Then clean the terminals and install a new capacitor.

This particular capacitor is .15uf connected in parallel with the filter choke, it will be omitted. I simply gutted it, cleaned and reinstalled the empty block.
