This cap, same as the 8uF one, was trying to be tough but I locked the wires in the vise and then used two heat guns on "High" to heat it from opposite sides. I heated it for 2 minutes and then used a kitchen glove to pull the can.
It just slid off freely after this.

These are the two heroes, with the cap's innards and the glove.

Will rebuild tomorrow.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
