Did you follow a specific video on how to change it? I have a spare but I don’t want to electrocute myself if mine goes out.
If you have any basic tool skills you can do it. The most important part is to pull the disconnect at the unit and then discharge the capacitor. This video is pretty good at showing the steps:

Friend,
I am not the handiest person in the world when it comes to electronics, but I have changed many AC capacitors. It is very easy to do and should take less than ten minutes. Once you do it, doing it a second time will take three minutes. Capacitors run $15-$25. AC repairmen will usually charge $250-300 to replace it.

The hardest part is dealing with the wasps that are nesting in the breaker box and area where the capacitor is.

wont kill you, but it will light you up like grabbing a spark plug wire on your car.
after turning power off, use screwdriver to touch across the terminals from one connection to the other and that discharges it so its safe
