Is replacing an optical pickup assembly difficult?

Hi everyone,

Is replacing a CDP optical pick up assembly difficult?

Anything of note in doing the replacement? It is a Sony, I thought I read somewhere that you need to remove some solder which keeps the unit protected from static, etc. until installed.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

Not very difficult on my Sony XA777ES. I have some closeups of the solder blob in this slide show.

Perhaps they will inspire you. Don't forget the grounding strap.
