I managed to get the other 3 leads from the cut capacitors out. It seems a bigger tip and holding in on the side of the solder bucket helped, but I think extra pulling also helped. I'm attaching a pic of one of the leads I got out. I'm not sure what that stuff is, but it is hard and was on the three leads I couldn't get out, but not on the one I did get out. So maybe that's why only one lead came out.
Also note the crud on the lead. Is that old flux? I'm assuming the discolored lead is only from the removal and it wasn't that way in the solder.  So when I work to install the new capacitor leads, should I put a drop of flux in the bucket first? I figure I'll let it heat up for about 20 to 30 seconds before trying to insert the lead. Oh, and with the amount of time it takes to head up the bucket to melt the solder, is the heat transfer to other components like resistors bad? They get pretty warm/hot during the process. Should I clip a heatsink to the leads of the other components sharing the bucket?
