Solder pot. The really cheap ones on Ebay need a rework of the triac used to control temperature and will fail after a short while. The one step more expensive ones from China work a lot better and longer.
Tried the torch on my braided leads but it got really messy-black, have now ordered a $25 solder pot from amazon.
These are some crazy caps though...just the size of a 4.7uF is weird.

The easiest solution is to buy Beldsol or the equivalent insulation so you can just solder through it at a moderately high temp.
This is exactly what I do as well, works great. Scraping first seems to prevent too much enamel junk building up on the iron and the iron has a much easier job of melting off the remains.
