Re-stuffing metal bodied capacitors.
#2

Hi Jake your going to have to cut that can open. I would use a box cutter or hacksaw and cut it along the groove at the top. That way you can glue the top back on. Now fun starts, getting the guts out of the can.
I usually use a large lag type bolt and screw it into the can and heat the can up a bit with a bernzomatic torch and pull the innards out.
There are other ways to do this. It's what works best for me. PS if you have a vice put the bolt in the vice and then screw the can onto the bolt it will give you better leverage to pull the can just have to use a rag to hold it after heating it up.
