Re-stuffing the Power Filter Box Can assembly in Philco20
#9

Texasrocker

Thanks, yes, I realize a chisel is a brute force tool. Icon_smile Schematics are to be always read before one endeavors into a destructive activity Icon_smile

Actually, I though of using a heatgun (I have a Milwaukee), but then I have a 7-y.o., a 9 mos - old and a wife who will bring the previous two to my attention, if the kitchen and garage happen to smell like an asphalt truck. Icon_mrgreen Icon_smile

I actually tried it first - I drilled a hole in one of the caps, put a big-a** screw in it, and, after giving it a good few minutes heating by my Milwaukee, tried to pull it out. No dice there.

This is why I eventually resorted to the blister-forming cutting tool and a hammer method.

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.
