Um, be careful. Get a longer allen key if bnecessary.
--- Quote ---Do the BNC's pull WITH the board or will I have to unsolder them?

You are RTFMing, aren't you? IIRC getting the BNCs out is best avoided.
--- Quote ---I assume the Vertical Mode switch board behind this board pull as one unit, correct?
--- End quote ---
Yes (unless I'm mentally confusing the 4x5 series, which is entirely possible).
If it is a bugger to get the mode buttons back in, then try popping out the small white plastic inserts so there is a larger hole. Pop the inserts back in after the board is in place.

Just follow your notes and photos.
Neomys Sapiens:
I have to comment on the ongoing CRO vs. DSO discussion.
My first scope was a HM605 60MHz analogue. I could do some audio, power and digital, and the component tester was a very useful feature in repairs.
But the lack of the possibility to see one-time events left me stranded in many questions. The techniques needed to make those events recurrent were much later aquired by me, I had converted to a DSO before.
And they cannot be applied universally, for example, you can't do that with inrush currents and other power related problems. I had a small Hameg DSO which didn't really count, as it had no measurements and analog output only. But I had some opportunities to work with (then) current DSO's and it was like: THAT is what I want my scope to do. When I got my 2430, it was a real game changer not only because of the storage capability combined with a sensible bandwith-to-sample rate ratio, but because of the measurement functions as well. It was with this scope that I attained the knowledge to make something of a good CRO too.
Specmaster:
When I last looked, a 2430 was a CRO with digital capability as well, or am I missing something here?

Aren't you referring to the 2230?

I assumed that you was talking about a Tek 2430 and according to convention it is a CRO as it uses a Cathode Ray tube as its display medium rather then a LCD or LED screen.
