Default Recaping

I am interested in recapping a Heath SB401 and a SB301 but I have several
questions.
1 Do you try to desolder each old cap or do you simple cut out the old ones
and add the new ones?
2. Where is a good place, web or otherwise to purchase new caps?
3. I been told that if the electrolytic are to old they will not polarize
correctly. So how do you know?
Thanks for any and all replies.
