If the leads are not long enough I would soldier the new leads that came with the capsule to the point where the old leads originate in the circuit. Strickly my $.02 on the subject.
I was wondering what would be better and was told by Peluso not to unscrew the leads from the capsule. I guess we now know both ways work .
