Pull all the metal panels off the amp (not hard), remove the screws holding the board in place (also not hard), and then replace the capacitors.

What caps would you suggest replacing with ?
I will most likely perform the 2ohm mod while I'm doing this...

I think it is pretty easy, but I have a ton of practice.

Why not let the pro guys do it instead?
I have soldered "some" through the years, but I would never let my own hands into one of my beloved PG-amps....
I only trust professionals to do that... It is a higher cost, but worth it.
