Word of advice when you recap the big tar can that contains the filter caps. You DO NOT have to unsolder all the wires going to the lugs underneath the can! Just take out the four screws holding the can in place, hold the bottom securly and rock the can till it comes loose. Lift it and cut the wires that are protruding from the inside of the can and lift the can off. The base of the can will remain and you can clean that out. Then you don't have to remove all the tar and old caps, just gouge out enough (maybe 2 inches deep), so the new caps fit. Make sure none of the old gunk is loose so it doesn't fall on top of your new caps. I just did this, and everything went fine.
