@dimplepatelpharmd.3176 , thank you for your question. It is recommended that you discharge a capacitor as soon as possible during replacement. We did actually discharge it after removing it from the HVAC unit by connecting the two terminals to a 20k OHM 5 watt resistor connected via 12 gauge wire (connected at each end of the resistor). FYI: We took it to the garage to discharge it as it's safer there.
Yes, you shoukd discharge a capacitor as soon as possible during replacement.

Should you not have de energized the capacitor terminal by touching both connectors with a rubber coated tool like screwdriver

Make sure you “ DE energize “ that Capacitor with a Voltmeter and Screwdriver BEFORE touching it.
