I would like to "remove and uncrimp" all of my bad electrolytic capacitors, but I had poor luck trying to unsolder the twisted tabs that were attached to the chassis on my 8TS30, even with a 140-watt soldering gun. I ended up using the "saw off and epoxy the cover on later" method mostly. The re-crimped capacitors definitely look the best, but there is also the tradeoff of removing their wiring and reinstalling it later, with the risks of breaking something.
