BE CAREFUL capacitors are used to store voltage that remains in the capacitor even with power removed. They can give a very nasty shock.
Use pliers with an insulated handle or gloves to pull the wire lugs from the capacitor.
To discharge a capacitor use a screwdriver with a plastic handle and use the shaft of the screwdriver to short (touch) the metal prongs on the capacitor to each other.
