Looks like my NES needs a cap kit - any advice?

KenToad:
Yeah, that was the video that made me reconsider doing the installation myself. Retro Tech US has a video where he shows pulling the caps out without removing the RF module. Also, he uses a vacuum powered desoldering iron, making that part of the process look easy. Besides that, it seemed like it was difficult to put the new caps in and make sure that you have the polarities correct when you can't see the board too well.

I really appreciate the advice. Thanks!

*Edit*
Looks like this guy cut the metal parts and pried the RF box open, so that may be the way I go.
