I do cap change on MS-series amps regularly.
As long as I am doing this job, I always replaced the 12 input filtering caps for 16 volts- 6800uf -105 degr.
ones. [3x in the MQ430]
The railcaps are best ordered at PG; the size of 35x35 mm. is very hard to find.
There used to be 4x 10.000uf -40, later 50volts in there, nowadays there are 8600uf, 85 degr. used. [2X 6800UF -50 volts to replace the ones in the MQ430].
Hope you know how to handle a soldering-iron, as this job is hard to do, when you never tried it before.
De-soldering the caps is the hardest part, along with getting the fets off the heatsink; they tend to stick very strong.
Also replace the silpads on all output devices.
You can PM me if you have more questions.

This is the tutorial Eric aka Dr. Fosgate wrote for cap replacement. He has a link in there on which caps to use.
I replaced the caps in my M44 with these and haven't had any problems.
