Apple Time Capsule Dead Hard Drive Swap - 802.11ac (A1470)

I have an Apple Time Capsule (A1470), that needs a Hard Drive Swap. This is a Hard Drive Upgrade, from 2Tb to 4Tb. This fix (repair), will improve my Time Capsules storage capacity.

Most importantly, I will be able to use Time machine again to Backup my Macs
