Can I learn to replace the capacitors on my DMR-E85H

Forgive me if this posts multiple times. I was having some technical difficulty with my browser.

My Panasonic DVD recorder DM$-E85H has frozen on Please Wait. There isa post from jazzguy1233 indicating he fixed a similar problemon hisunit by replacing two leaking capacitors located under the hearddrive. I've taken apart my unit and found the samesituation. Two capacitorsappear to be bulging and have a brownsubstance on top.

I'mcomfortable taking the unit apart -- clearly -- but have never doneanycircuitry work or soldering. Can I learn to do this and doyourecommend any books or links that would offer me guidance? Itseemslike a solution that might cost less than $10 for parts at RadioShackand a couple of hours -- would be infinitely preferable tothe $130charge by Panasonic.
