OK, now to recap.
Took me whopping 15 minutes to take out all the backelite block's stuffing out (6 of them).
I used that new approach I described in 90 thread - I only bite off the wires that connect the stuffed caps to the lugs and then without unscrewing the blocks heat them and push the contents out, which they seem to accept very happily. It is enough to heat 10 second each side of the backelite block on LOW setting and then push it with a small allen wrench.
Then I unscrew them and pull the contents out. If it is stuck a little (could be) - 5 seconds with LOW setting is enough to losen it.
Now Restuffing, then the electrolytics. I think I will not be getting to the lytics untill late tonight (well, I have a life and a family of 4) or early tomorrow.
