I don't think I'm able to get to the cans.. The tabs are soldered to the chassis, and my soldering irons are not able to heat the solder up hot enough to where I can even flow the solder around, so I can get out the globs of solder and twist the tabs to loosen the cans.. So many wires in that area, it's very hard to be careful without damaging them with the soldering iron... It's also very hard to even remove the wires.. Thought to myself once I start there is no going back... I didn't get any leads off, so I gave up and hooked the set back up..

Another option I could do is just leave the cans in and unhook them and installed the electrolytics under, but then where do the neg leads to each cap go? to the chassis ground?

I ended up restuffing the electrolytic on the horz/vert board, under the orange cardboard there is a can, took the hack saw and did a hack job on cutting the can open, I drilled holes through the bottom and soldered the new cap to the leads, tried to get out as much tar as possible, ended up making a big mess. It's all back on, but cardboard cover is very loose... Probably should have tried to use paint thinner.. Maybe I will if I can get the other caps off..
