Well,

I soaked it 24 hrs. Tonight I pulled the pickle out of the brine, grabbed one of the twist tabs with pliers, and the shell with my hand, pulled and the cap came out with the juicy "chwuak!"sound.
Black tar.
Removed most of it but decided to soak more to remove the rest.

I like this method more as gripping hot capacitor while trying to work fast as it is cooling fast is even less enjoyable.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
