I mean, technically, you could replace it with new capacitors. Give that it's a 3 wire capacitor, that will make it two capacitors in series with one lead being from where they are connected together. You'd have to guess at the capacitance unless it's written on the old one. And you'd need to get caps rated for AC use, and preferably 277v.

If you wanted to bother, that is.
