That way you can clip the wires going to the capacitors and install new capacitors under the terminal board. The pack is separated into 3 sections. One contains the power transformer, one the capacitors, and one I believe has a choke and maybe another capacitor. I suggest you read this article on rebuilding these power packs:

I afraid that once I start to chip away at the tar, I could damage something, since not being familiar with what and were everything exactly is. The article explains good, but I could still break something. Once I am familiar with the pack, the second one would be a good candidate.
