How hard it is to replace the rca input on the shindo amplifier?

Hi,
Does anybody know how to replace the rca input in my Shindo Montille Ampplifier?
I bought it used from an AG member. I just discovered that my RCA input was broken. The bass out put from my speakers is distortion. Please give me instruction of how to do it. I already order the Switchcraft RCA jacks which Shindo Used for their amp.
Thanks in advanced.

If you use proper tools and apply proper skills to solder a wire, you won't damage plastic chassis of RCA receptacles.
To see how to solder proper you can go YouTube where you will find an arsenal of instructional videos.

In this day and age there is something to be said about fixing something yourself. Heck, I've been guilty of throwing $100 and my time to fix a $20 problem, but it sure was satisfying.

Learning to solder is a gateway to shrink wrap…take this as a warning.

No need to learn, just see how and repeat.
After 2..3 times of practicing (tops) the job will look nice, shiny and sexy.

Hello,
I have just finished a first project beautifully. Made a home made interconnect with silver conductor ordered from Tempo Electric. My system sounds wonderful with the new interconnect. I will do the amp over weekend after buying a good soldering iron. Is the Weller WES51 good enough?
Thanks to all who had encouraged me in doing it the first time.
