Mike, your on your way. A good long drill, mark the length with masking tape so as not to go all the way through the can, and away you go! Worse part is drilling, the combo of tar and capacitors is nasty. Drill slow and clean it often. Post some pictures for others! You may wish to hold that can in your new vice with the can wrapped in a towel to keep from scratching it. Everyone needs a vice of some kind.
Best, Jerry
