Tonight I recapped the filter can. First step was just to desolder the wires and carefully label everything (the schematic shows the terminals from the bottom of the chassis - makes sense).

I used a soldering tool to break the internal wires connecting to the terminals. The top of the can then pops right off:

I then used a heat gun to warm the sides of the can.

Usually it's just a matter of softening the tar connecting the block to the can a bit.

This can was easier than some others that I've done - the block slid right out:

The can had a small amount of rust so I decided to throw it into an Evaporust bath overnight. Evaporust works best at warm temperatures. Since my workshop is the garage and it's ~40F out I brought the container into the house and placed it next to the heat vent.

Now to replace those caps. The new caps sure are a lot smaller.

And soldered back into place (just held in place with tape at the moment since the top of the can is soaking).

I then checked that the 112 was still operational. It was.
