So do I, but I fear they are going to be really difficult to remove. They are both epoxied in two places, in both cases one of the glue dabs is pretty inaccessible. I am minded to just cut the bodies of the caps off (ie above their bases, cutting directly into the body close to the base) and then see how to get the rest of the damn things off the board. I am not sure what the electrolyte is like inside these things, do I need to take any precautions? If anyone has any good ideas for a "clean" way to remove them I am all ears. Regards Rob
