NM, You have not yet identified the model of HMV so it is going to be very to offer any specific advice.
It is sometimes necessary to remove a couple of wires to get at a component which is buried under wires and components close to the chassis in a radio. But I have never had to consider removing a whole tagstrip, that would make the job 10 times more difficult and, as you say, prone to errors if you put the wires back in the wrong place.
The skills needed to cleanly remove and replace old components will come with patience and practice. As Trevor has suggested, dismantling an old scrap radio can give you lots of practice before you start on a radio you wish to restore.
