Sure, just cut them 1/4" or so close to the board and then solder the new cap to the stubs. One word of caution though, when you heat the stub you'll likely melt the solder on the back side of the board and the wire stub may pull out of the hole. You might avoid this potential problem by heat sinking the stub close to the board using a clip-on heat sink available from Radio Shack

Good luck!
