Help with fly back anode cap

Hey guys,

I have a flyback on an analog board with a cap that’s no good. The little prongs that go in the CRT have been damaged but they don’t seem to be removable. I think I have to replace the entire cap. Is it possible to replace the cap and wire?

Please let me know if you can provide some guidance, I have never done this before.

Some flybacks you can either remove the prongs with a little nut, or there’s a bit of solder holding it together. Tricky to desolder because it’s right inside the cap between the prongs.
