The Nichicon CE series is no longer made, you'll have to find a current equivalent or better.
All four capacitors should be replaced. Perhaps the four smaller ones as well.

Check the original data sheet for the present capacitors' height, diameter, lead spacing, and hole diameter.
Then look at data sheets of current parts, for one that is the same (or better) in voltage, temp, uF,
and ripple current, but that will still fit on the present pcb. You may find that a particular distributor's stock
will be spotty, so order from whoever has stock in what you want. Check distributors' stock at Octopart.

Digikey will be your best bet for a replacement. They will be two pin, and what called snap in (even though you still need to solder). Get the best spec'd cap that will fit.
The LK series that are in there are a standard type of part, for general use, so replacements should typically follow that unless you know that something else would be better.
Have to measure the size of the parts to make sure that the replacements will fit.
Avoid auction sites for these kind of parts also!

LLS series would be a good replacement. Don't buy from auction sites or nonofficial distributors. Use Digikey, Mouser, ... .
Found this one
LLS2E102MELB Nichicon | Capacitors | DigiKey
Its just about the same size. A little bit wider and a little bit shorter.
Little more uf.
Any issues with going with this one?

I'd also measure the lead spacing and make sure it is the same. I've found lead spacing to be more of a factor in easy replacement than slightly taller/fatter. If I remember right, Digi allows you to select based on lead spacing in addition to Volts/caps
