I suspect that when I use a belt sander to remove the lip, I am sanding a little of the rubber ring away making it easier to remove the Bakelite assembly. I did remove the rubber ring, at least on the Mershon's which gave me the room necessary to roll the edge of the can over again on reassembly. It looks like, though, that I did not remove the rubber ring when I did the Sprague's.
