Default general question: mainboard caps

Hello,

I've got a couple of Intel boards (D865PERL) that have one bad
electrolytic capacitor each. One board stopped working; the other
still works, but has a bulging cap close to the CPU area. (Pics not
yet available.)

Is desoldering these caps straightforward? Any special precautions
multi-layered PCB traces? Any special gotchas to keep in mind
when ordering replacement caps from say Mouser?

Thanks,

Michael
