I'd modify your procedure by putting the checking and replacement of resistors in with the capacitor replacement work. If you desolder the sonnection, it is easy to check all of the items connected to it at that time. To help prevent mistakes when several items at conencted to one point, the loose ends of the new and old parts can be twisted/looped together. I don't even bother keeping a stock of 1/2 watt resistors, as the 1 watt units are small enough, and provide an upgrade in circuit locations where the resistors have more of a work-out.
