If I was going to unsolder one leg (if you can get the old one loose easily) and then go thru that testing, I'd just snip both leads in the same amount of time and spend a few more cents and a minute putting a new one instead. I am a layman at fixing this sort of stuff (ok I fixed record players for a year in a repair shop but that's it) so I figure I just replace caps to begin with when it's cheap and doesn't require any brains or test equipment. And you get a new part instead of worrying if the old one was almost ready to fail 8 ()
