I've found that cutting the body of the capacitor off the leads makes the job a little easier,

A solder sucker will remove some of the solder and a pair of tweezers or snipe nosed pliers allow the remains of the lead to be pulled out.

I don't envy you if you are going to change all of them, that's a big undertaking!
