Block Capacitor Questions
#14

Yes I've encountered block capacitors that did not slide out as easily as others I've stuffed. In those cases, I do take them out of the chassis, heat them with a hair dryer or heat gun and then do a little digging with a flat screw driver, spatula or utility knife to get the guts out. Once you get the bottom tar out the cap(s) will usually pry out easily. Do be careful though about prying against the side of the bakelite block as I have broken one when I pried a bit too hard. I then use WD40 to clean out the residual tar in the block (mineral spirits works also).
