I've never seen it hard to do in a Zenith TV. I've seen a lot of Zeniths, but I've not seen everything. Usually, they make it easy in portables assuming you've sufficiently separated cabinet and chassis. Worst cases I've seen in other American sets is you have to remove a thing or two on the chassis to get at a can. If it is stumping you then, by all means, post some pics of the area, and one of us will probably remember a trick or figure it out from looking...We are here to help.
