In most cases just heating up the sides of the can enough to soften the tar or wax is enough to get it out, then you can drive a large wood screw or cork screw into one of the caps to pull the guts out. I've been told that this won't work on an Atwater Kent can because those have a metal tab or something sticking into the inside of the can.
