Most portables from that time forced you to pull the chassis and or CRT inorder to access the caps.

Just do things gently and it will work out. Make sure to discharge the HV if it has been run recently, loosten the yoke clamp and if it looks like the yoke could snag on the CRT base slide a playing card or sheet of thick paper between the yoke and neck to shoehorn the yoke over the base.

Just be glad you are not working on a early 70s Panasonic 6 tube hybrid color set...the sheet metal of the 2 chassis halves comes together around the can lytics such that you can't access them from any angle without undoing most of the wiring harness and unbolting the halves...
