Replacing electrolytic cans with E-caps for 40-180?
#6

On the cans I use a fine (small) hacksaw and cut around the can. I put marker marks on various locations with 1-3 lines so that I can use these as re-alignment points. You can purchase metallic tape at most auto parts sorts and I use the to retape the can together. I usually make the cut toward the bottom so that in many cases the mount bracket covers the cut so it appears invisible to most people. On the nut base cans if you cut near the bottom one can see the tape but it really doesn't draw that much attention. On some cans I just tap into the existing leads that went to the old electro cap, you may have to use a heat gun on some because the inside was more a tar type composite, other cans just have liquid in them.
