Have you switched drivers on crossovers to confirm the problematic device is really the crossover instead of the driver?
On 3110a pics seen the housing appears to be riveted, small metal screws would have been faster and if you do go ahead you might want to use short screws to close it back, easier to reopen in case needed.
Though only one crossover seems to be a problem I suggest you do both of them to get same sound and peace of mind for the other one in the future.
Depending on how crammed it is inside the crossover housing, if you keep the old Caps in place you might run out of space for the new ones. I guess maybe you won't know for sure before opening it since other owners haven't replied yet.
If there's enough space inside I would do as you say: cut the leads close to the present caps and solder the new caps using the same leads. Good luck. Regards,
Richard
