It's a small metal can that has ends that can be folded open and the old rectangle of tar and caps just pops out. Of course you have to cut the three (3) cap wires that go the the switch contacts themselves. I'll try to post some pics.

I open the can just enough to let the slug fall out with a heat gun on low. Re-stuff with your fav. caps.
