Scott, I just installed L33 in a K2 last night. The wire should not require stripping in any manner. Be careful and don't flex it too much it is very fragile. Follow the procedure in the assembly manual closely. The hardest part is after the coil is in place on the rubber spacer, and the small 5.1 MOhm resistor is formed over the coil and soldered in place. The next operation requires looping each of the two wires around the ends of the resistor wire near the solder pad. It is best to use a tweezer to gently slip the wire ends around the resistor lead on each side and if you can, wrap it once more, then trim excess wire and solder the connection. Examine the solder joint with a magnifier and you should see a smooth well bonded solder joint. BTW Elecraft support is very good about answering e-mails, usually same day unless its a weekend or late at night. The list is a good backup in any case.
Good luck es 73 de Al WA6VNN **************Planning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides.
