If the candohm is measuring OK I leave them alone as I would with the 15 ohm resistor. The rubber coated wires will likely crumble as you work to replace the paper capacitors. Some colors are less brittle than others but I find I'm often replacing or covering most of them. If I haven't disturbed a wire and it looks intact and it still has some pliability in the rubber I may leave it alone. Other folks may have other opinions I'm sure...
Cheers,
Bob
