You cannot simply cut the legs off. The encoder has two large mounting lugs that are soldered to big copper pads on the pcb, and you cannot just cut these off without causing damage.
Rubbish! Wen I replaced my worn out encoder I carefully cut all the data connections and the mounting tabs, removed the encoder then carefully removed the soldered pin remains with a small tipped iron and a pair of fine tweezers. I cleaned up the holes with desoldering braid and installed the replacement from Yaesu. Everything works perfectly now.
