I've seen a few other posts and information on Google about the large filter can on the model 20. Basically heat it and the guts fall out, but I was wondering, how is the bottom attached. Is the bottom pressed on? Will it pull off and then show the wires? Another post had the bottom off and the wires in the can cut so the person did not have to unsolder the wires underneath the chassis. Icon_wave

So how exactly then can I leave the chassis wiring untouched? If I remove the 1/4" nutdriver screws then the whole can moves. I want to be able to remove the top and then cut the wires and then restuff? Press fit? Riveted? Icon_eek

Thanks in advance.
