But before you do-it-yourself watch a couple of youtube videos. It's easy to do.... if you know what you are doing. You have to discharge the capacitor you are taking out first and it would not hurt to make sure the new one is not charged too. They hold 440 volts I believe. Will not kill you, but will hurt you.
