- Either de-solder your hot output wire from the output jack, or just snip it in the middle if there’s enough spare length to reach the new pot’s lugs. Strip the ends of the wires.
- Push the wire leading from the volume pot (or pickup selector) through lug 3 of the new pot, along with one leg of the capacitor. (Remember, when the pot is viewed from the rear as in the diagram, lug 3 is on the left.) The capacitor orientation doesn’t matter—either lug will do. Solder the two wires in place.
- Three wires will meet at lug 1, so it’s a good idea to thread them all through the lug before affixing them. Insert the second wire from the capacitor, as well as the wire leading to the output jack. (If you previously de-soldered the wire from your output jack, cut a new length of wire to reach from lug 1 to the jack.) You also need a short jumper wire between lugs 1 and 2. (You can probably just thread the capacitor’s second leg through the two lugs, or do the same with the wire leading to the output jack.)`
- Solder the three wires together at lug 1, and solder the jumper wire to lug 2.
