Hi Stephen,
For this type of job, I'm going to recommend that you have someone else who's done this before help you out. These dichroics are extremely thin and fragile, and I have seen the results when they are not installed properly or carefully - shattered glass and/or scratched disks which lead to even more expensive problems. The exchange should also be done in a clean environment to prevent dust from landing on the disks.
Please contact your local Andor representative for a quote for this kind of work, or let me know if need help locating a representative.
Cheers,
John Oreopoulos
