I have a PC PSU that went defunct some weeks back, and I finally got the cover off to look at the component side of the circuit board.  Looks like two electrolytics are faulty, with one having a really large "dome."  Rather than completely disassembling the circuit board (and also having to discharge the large electrolytics), I'm wondering if I could cut and remove the existing one and use the existing leads to solder in a replacement?  Problem is that there's no extra lead length between board and cap, but thought someone might have a method.  I was thinking of just maybe cutting through the center of the cap as its small and then there would be enough lead length left to solder in the new one, but not sure if that would work.  Thanks for your help.
