That ain't gonna work ;-)

(even if you ignore the cap in the space silk screened for Q1!)

The heat should shrink the plastic sleeve out the way, and melt what
remains. The iron likely has enough grunt to solder to the cap's case,
which is connected to -ve, so it should work... for some odd value of
work.

Hardly. It appears to be a single sided board. The heat would need to
transfer from the case of the cap to the lead - and you'd still not get
the multicore near the work. Then you have the problem of the positive...

You've completely misunderstood.
