A cap across a diode and a cap from one end to somewhere else serve different purposes. One place doesn't sub for the other. There must be something different about the flyback transformer itself to require removing the cap.

Re clip leads: keep leads short and be very careful about accidental shorts, as the diodes would not like that.
If there is something different with the flyback, I can't find it (visually). The capacitor only stays in if you're replacing the -02 with this -02. The original -00, -01 and -03 deletes the capacitor. Not going to put anymore thought into it. Just glad I now have a 2KV capacitor. If I do find that one of the current ones is not up to spec, I have a replacement.

The leads I have are 10" and rated for 600V. Clips are insulated except for the bite section.
