Capacitor 68000uf/100V Replabement for Krell Ksa


My Krell Ksa-150 had one of 4 big Capacitor 68000uf/100V in Power supply burned I get the new Capacitor but have hard time to reassemble it(The power in other capacitor discharged twice) I give up. Can somebody please help? step by step would be very appreciates. Thanks in advance, Guy25

you need to bleed off the other caps in the supply with a resistor.
I use 20 and 30 ohm resistors rated at 30 watts to discharge 4000mf at 200v caps used in 5v 200amp power supplies when I replace bad caps in the ac filter circuit.
Can anyone else recommend what would be a good value resistor that can be used in discharging the caps in his amp?
