especially in linear operation. 

When replacing a transistor, 

remove any parts that are on top of 
the leads, and then carefully peel each 
lead away from the pc board while 
melting the solder.  Then remove the 
mounting hardware and gently push 
the old transistor out of the heatsink.  
Clean all the old solder off the pc 
board to avoid stressing the leads 
when the new transistor is mounted.  
Add new heatsink compound, and 
install new transistor with collector 
lead (has notch) oriented properly.  
Tighten mounting hardware carefully; 
avoid over-torquing the brass stud of 
Q2.  Then, flatten leads against the 
board, and sweat solder them to the 
foil.  Remember to resolder any parts 
removed for access to the transistor 
leads.
