Start Up Fails When HDD Connected

Hi, it seems I'm the latest to have this fault and thank you to Black Hole for advising me in another post. I have gone through this significant thread with all the information, thank you to newcoppiceman for his original diagnosis work. I am planning to replace the 4u7 capacitor but have not soldered for many years. I do have soldering iron with a small thin bit and I need to buy some solder. I see that care is needed in removing the old capacitor either by desoldering or cutting, is there a preferred method? Also, can the fix be applied with the board in place, or do I need to remove it to apply the fix?
