Mike, sounds like a fun day so far! As for the "dreadful big can", it is a walk in the park, assuming it has the cardboard liner so the tar is not poured right into the bare can. Break the wires coming through the eyelets from the bottom with a small drill like you do to the bakelite caps. The whole top of the can will then lift off. Large bolt still available! The vice is too heavy and hard to dismount from my bench. Sorry.
Jerry

PS: As I recall the "e-caps" are all in that dreadful can.
