I would clean the board first.
For me, I put the pad back where it belonged and glued it in as recommended. Well, predicatably, the glue did not hold for squat. Solder paste is not a bad idea.
For my second motherboard, I went to RadioShack and got 10 47uF electrolytic radials. It's very difficult to make a hot soldering job with my low level of skill. Short leads give me plenty of room, I will then glue the capaciters and leads for support. While not as good as tantalums, at least I won't have to worry about that for awhile.
