Running a cap kit on the G80, I'm in the middle of this and I almost wish I hadn't started it. The caps that are in there are so tight I'm not sure how he didn't lift pads. I've lost 2 so far. I can say just after removing 2 caps the procedure is a real PITA.
 
i have had problems with tight leads/holes - the williams/molex 0.156" headers are a good case in point.

generally speaking i sand/file the component lead first to get easy insertion.

a very good article!
