I entirely understand your concern, but having plucked up the courage to do
a couple of mods a few months ago I found it really wasn't difficult.
Getting an SMT part off is a lot easier than removing through hole parts
(believe me, I have the messy looking KSB2 with lifted circuit traces in my
K2 to show for it.) I used two soldering irons, one at each end, and the
resistor was off in a jiffy.
I haven't looked at this particular mod yet since I don't have a need for it
but I assume, as with the other mod, that the replacement resistor can be a
leaded one if you find that easier.
