What I used can be considered a small hack saw. After cutting I dress the cut on each side by sanding (or filing) down each side, then rejoining with JB Weld. The cut is disguised by the structure under the cap.

I also prefer this over cutting at the bottom because it makes the can stronger, in case the chassis is handled by the can or if the can is bumped.
