Use the ESR meter to check those electrolytics. It will do the job! Jumpering caps is not a good troubleshooting technique in my opinion.
The way to replace can caps is to cut the terminal at the cap with a big pair of dikes underneath the solder joint. That way, all the resistors, wires, etc. are still connected. Then, break the connections of the components on that lug and re-establish in the same fashion on the new electrolytic. Terminal strips are needed to make the connections to the new caps.
