S3 began failing and not restarting - bulging caps - need advice

Hello all - One of my 648250B upgraded Tivo's began getting pixelated and then started restarting daily. As of last night it will no longer boot up so i opened her up and lo and behold I have 3 bulging caps but I have a bunch of questions about replacing them.



1 - I have never soldered but am handy. I watched a few Youtube videos and think I can handle desoldering and soldering....am I crazy to do it myself with no experience? Will this cheap kit do the trick?

2 - What is the white stuff holding some of the caps together? Do I need to reapply this stuff after replacing?



3 - [Found a source]How do I find the exact model/spec of the bulging caps and where do I order? http://ift.tt/1q2WuSG



here are some photos I took of the 3 bulging caps - any info and advice is really welcomed.
