Go to Kemet and AVX web sites both have info on chip cap. repair do and don'ts.
Basicall you can do the repair with iron, depends on the chip size, but don't
touch the chip directly touch the solder on the pcb pad

 Subject:  [TN] SM Ceramic Caps - Touch-Up/Replacement








Quite often I see the need to add solder to the end caps of surface mounted
ceramic capacitors. Normally I would do this with hot air and solder paste
because of the part being more heat sensitive but some of the touch up areas I
go to only have soldering irons for rework. Assuming the operator is using the
correct tip size for the part and the temp set at 600 degrees F,  does this pose
a great threat to the component ( internal cracking from heat) ?
