Joe;
If you are confortable working with surface-mount devices, you shouldn't
have any trouble. I have a FT-5100 that I've replaced the battery twice.
Suggest that you gat a copy of the service manual and follow the procedure
within. If you get someone to copy the page out of the manual for you,
so much the better.
Good Luck.
