Nick, you are on the right track. I am working on my 40-180 right now and have removed all of the caps, the tuning coil, and the dial display. The only thing left on the top of the chassis is the transformer. You can get to all of the caps without removing the tuning coils - just unscrew the bracket and flip it out of the way for now. I have all new caps and resistors at home and am waiting for a delivery of wire so I can begin rewiring. Take lots of pictures, work with the schematic. Make notes. You'll be fine.
