Paul: What I do is grab a leg with needle nose pliers after the solder has been sucked out, and wiggle the leg around to try to break it free from the last tiny bit.
Sven: So, as I was saying... I wiggle the leg around. LOL.
One way to see if the capacitor is bad is to just attach it to 12v, and then remove the 12v. If it keeps the voltage (the voltage will fall slowly), then it's probably good.
