Ok  . . . so what's the next step?

The 12 mfd. wasn't too much problem to remove, but it took an act of god to get the 4 mfd. out of the chassis . . . you can see the marks and dents I left on the can. <sob>   Icon_mad    When I couldn't get the nut below the chassis to turn WITHOUT a tool holding the top, I started grabbing the tip top of the thing with a 2nd set of pliers to get that chintzy nut to turn.  Usually, that type of nut is FALLING off after looking at them the wrong way ! 
With the grabbing of the can with a pliers, that top end didn't loosen like I thought it might have, . . . so if I have to take that end cap off, it ain't gonna come easily either.   Icon_wtf
