No you do not need to remove the caps, but doing the short with chunks of solder is a very poor way to do it. Solder is actually a very nasty conductor, especially if you have any audiophile asperations. the best bet is to make the short with a small piece of wire, soldering to one of the cap pads, running around the cap (don't touch it) and soldering the other end of the wire to the other pad.
