Bill, what radio is it on?  The can cap in my 60MB was straight forward and with a little unbending of the metal tabs the tar encrusted caps slid out with the fishpaper.  Others will have to comment on other models.

If you are speaking about those black bakelite block caps, then here's a thread for those.
Cheers,
Bob
