Changing Capacitor in distributor

How difficult is it to replace the capacitor in a distributor in a 69 beetle? Does it come out through the top or bottom of the distributor?

undo the screw that holds the clip (which also holds the capacitor-from what i remember)
then unplug and pull out from the side as the wire goes to the points.
i think thats it.

internal condensers are removed thro the top where the dizzy cap sits. Should be able to see where the mounting screw is on the side :)
