Yes.
Read the service manual.
just remove the top cover. The lamps are easily accessable.
No need to disassemble the front panel.

Please remind me why you think any such modification to the Arrow is
necessary.
If we are discussing the Arrow dual-band unit for satellites with the duplexer
built into the mast, I personally wouldn't dream of modifying it as you
decribe. It works the FM birds phenomenonally as designed.
The only 'mod' I consider is the addition of a handle for portable ops, a

Because the 70cm elements are 1/2" too short. Kent Brittain analyzed the
antenna and found that while the element lengths were correct for an antenna
using elements insulated from the boom, they were too short for elements
directly mounted to the boom.
I add some 1/4" threaded aluminum spacers on each half of the element before I
assemble the antenna, as to me, it was easier than modifying it so the
elements were insulated from the boom.
Does it make a difference? I'm sure it does on an antenna range, but having
only one Arrow, I can't do an "A-B" comparison during a pass. I suppose I
could hook it to my spectrum analyzer and point it at a 70cm repeater or weak
signal source, but that's a bit difficult for me to do in my apartment!
Maybe after I get all moved in with my girlfriend, and have a real backyard to
play in!
