47,000 uF 16v. You should be able to find that in a physically
smaller package.

Carefully remove the base from the capacitor, preserving only the base
and the can. If you're really careful, you might be able to also save
the vinyl insulator. Tear out the guts and throw it away. Install
the replacement physically smaller capacitor inside the can,
connecting the capacitor leads to the base to match the original.
Solder it back onto the PCB and you're done.

If you don't care if it looks like the original, forget the
aforementioned process and just solder the replacement cap to the PCB
in place of the can in any manner that will fit.
