Default Removal of motherboard electrolytic caps

I have a motherboard that has three electrolytic caps that are bulging. I
have a 40watt iron with a chisel shaped bit that is just wide enough to
cover both wires of each capacitor at the same time. Would this rating be
enough to safely remove these by just heating and pulling them or am I
likely to cause damage by insufficient power. Each capacitor is 330uf/25v.
Hope that's enough info...

Thanks,
David
