When you're recapping it's good to check the resistors in those areas as most of the time they have drifted some. Sometimes you get better, more accurate readings of them when they are disconnected from the circuit. But this also means removing all the components from that terminal strip and more time and attention to detail.
Yes, as Dave WM said about heatsinking is true and good to do, you will notice some resistors are "very" heat sensitive, more than others, and their values will be quite unstable. Naturally those are canadates for replacement.
I like to do an area/circuit at a time and I'll make a diagram for component replacement before I take anything loose and compare it to the schematic.
Actually, when I'm recapping and doing this sort of work I find it to be relaxing and enjoyable. When my eyes start to give out then it's time to find a stopping point and call it a day!
