Why dont you try to just bend the caps until the legs breaks?
I replaced some caps in an dying A4k a few weeks ago and i first attempted to desolder them but it was too hard for me with my equipment.. then i tried to snap them of by bending gently and they snaped off pretty quick without any risk of damaging traces. when the caps was gone it was easy to desolder the rest of the legs even with a bad soldering iron
