I don't know about the caps used in this Stewart Warner, but with the ones used in RCA and G.E sets you can get the old cap out by placing a suitably sized mechanic's socket on on a table or bench, place the end of the capacitor down over the socket, grasp the paper tube, and push down, the cap will pop out of the end opposite.
