I just removed the KIO3 modules and the rear panel to avoid having to
cut pins or bend boards. The fan panel had to be removed to access a
screw holding the rear panel to the KPA100 shield though.

Last night I installed the new KXV3B board into my K3. Yes, the pins are
just a bit long - maybe 1/16 inch. Just long enough that the pins don't
clear the J66 socket as stated in the installation instructions.
But after several tries, I was finally able to do it without clipping the
leads or any other modification. With one hand, I asserted some upwards
pressure on the BNC connectors and some slight downwards pressure on the RF
board below. Then with the other hand, I ran my finger along the pins and
was able to press them so they mated to the socket.
Hope this helps.
