Happy Weekend Everybody
I've been working on my Silvertone for a week or so. Most of the way through recapping. Tonight I got to one of the electrolytics in the set. I removed it, and managed to hack saw all the way around the base. My problem is that the two parts won't come apart. Here is a picture:

I tried heating it with a hair dryer on high for about 10 minutes, but nothing would budge. Is this a situation where I just have to pull harder, or heat it hotter (oven? If so how high for how long?), or something else?
Thanks in advance.
