Thank you, MrFixr, that was super helpful! I will keep that all in mind as I work.

One quick question - you mentioned not to dissemble it, which...yeah, sounds like a huge amount of work. But would you recommend for or against removing the unit from the cabinet to work on it, or try to work on it in place? There is no "case" around it, so all the gears and what not are exposed on the bottom, so I'm a little hesitant, but I would love to get your opinion on it.
