Replacing a pot on a Boss pedal - Is this hard? Any advice?

Hey!

I've had a Boss ODB-3 for ages but rarely use it as I snapped the volume knob off a while back, i can still turn it with a screwdriver... but that's not ideal.
So I'm looking to repair it properly myself, I still have the plastic cap of the control.
I've done a bit of research but thought I'd also ask here.

Will it be hard to replace the pot? Or should I just take it somewhere to get fixed?

Thanks

It's relatively easy to get replacement pots for pedals. What you need to know is what value it is (100k, 500k etc..) and the taper (logarithmic or linear) these will be indicated by a capital A or B.

It can also be tricky to desolder stuff from the board if you're not used to doing it.
