How hard it is to replace the rca input on the shindo amplifier?

Hi,
Does anybody know how to replace the rca input in my Shindo Montille Ampplifier?
I bought it used from an AG member. I just discovered that my RCA input was broken. The bass out put from my speakers is distortion. Please give me instruction of how to do it. I already order the Switchcraft RCA jacks which Shindo Used for their amp.
Thanks in advanced.

It's done in few moves on almost all of the amps:
1. Remove chassis and locate the broken RCA 
2. Remove broken RCA input (you may note or photograph how the wires connected or simply memorize)
3. Mount replacement RCA input the way broken old one was connected
4. Put chassis back together.

Thanks Czarivey.
It requires soldering. I am afraid the rca jacks will be damaged by the heat of the soldering. Any way to avoid it?
thanks

Any reputable repair shop should be able to do that quickly and cheaply if you don't want to do it yourself.

They charged 100. Is it reasonable?

Don't be afraid to solder it is really simple for your task at hand, get you a good battery operated soldering gun, looks more like a small pen light, and enjoy not having to bring it to a repair shop. Good luck.
