If the caps are cracked then you have to fit new ones, but this is not as common as the Carbon resistors breaking down and and corrosion of the brass inners causing the tracking
I just said what I did to my own. My friend who was a mechanic, (RIP) had a few Damaged SD10F caps he was going to throw out, but I took them and dsimantled one, but it took so long I broke open the rest. Then dismantled my own and just swapped out the resistors. They are a few mm longer than the Yamaha resistor,s but still fit. I also mention in the original post how to remover the inners of the Original.
I see, I thought you'd found some other way of doing it I wasn't aware of. The way you describe is very hit and miss mostly miss nowadays. The plastic used in the caps becomes very brittle and normally just crumbles, so I'm assuming you did this some time ago?
