Hi TN, on that big cap can, I'm giving you a couple of pictures of my approach from a Philco 111 I believe. Might be a 112. Remove the 4 bolts holding the can down. Pry a bit and the can itself will come off the base plate allowing you to separate them enough to get to the wires that run out of the tar and soldered to the base plate. With the can in hand, so to speak, drill a hole in the center of the tar mess, install a long lag screw. I use this in my almost closed bench vise and yank the can up with head hitting on the bottom of the vise jaws. Slide hammer? If you can see a cardboard liner it should not require any heat. If not and the tar is in contact with the can itself, heat will be required. Using this technique, one does not have to remove the wires from the base on the underside eliminating the chance to mess up. Quite important for me!
Good luck and ask questions, we are here to help.
