That would be a 6" lag bolt Ron. Longer than the drill I had for the pilot hole. Leaves enough head sticking out that I can invert the can with the bolt head down and slip the bolt into my bench vise loose around the bolt shaft. A few yanks up the bolt head stopped by the almost closed vice and it just came sliding out. Think improvised slide hammer. I did go around the inside of the can with a putty knife between the cardboard and metal but met no resistance of tar touching the can. Guess I was lucky Phlogiston.
