My RCA TV set (the one I Beltroned the CRT in) has boards like that. I cheated when recapping: instead of unmounting the boards I just clipped the old cap's leads, and J hook soldered the new cap leads to the old leads. Ugly, but if you keep the new cap leads reasonably short, but not so close to the old leads where they connect to the foil of the circuit board, works. IOW, I wanted to avoid melting the old lead's solder connection to the circuit board foil, by having around 1/3 or more inch length of old lead from the board to the soldered junction of the old lead to the new cap's lead.
As you can see in the picture, you don't see the ugliness...
