>>cut the terminals off the bottom of the e-caps, leaving the original connections intact, and use it as a tie point for replacements.
Not sure how it is: if you cut the terminals, there's nothing to solder to anymore. If you keep it, well, then you are paralleling good cap to bad.
To me the single way to use the electrolytic cap as tie point is to gut it.
But if you gutted, meaning cut it, gut it, glue it together - then why not re-stuff it?

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
