When my control panel cap blew I went ahead and replaced all. I found the easiest way with less risk of damage was to wrap the cap with tape and then crush it with needle nose pliers. I next trimmed the remaining leads, leaving enough length for me to solder the new cap to. Where the head room was limited I laid the new cap on its side. I replaced all of my caps in a few hours and never risked damaging the pcb.

Can you show on a small video what you would have done if the new caps were tantalium ? Like showing in great detail where is minus, plus ... Thanks
How about the rest of similar Capacitors? There are 9 of them on main board. Would you recommend changing them or they are not at risk ?
No, the rest of them are fine since they are being used at lower voltage (only +5v).
C8 has blown on mine also.
This cap should be replaced before it catches fire.
