Hi Jim, There are several threads on these types of caps you can search out.  Chuck has a service tip on this as well. Some indicate you don't really need the little coil of wire as it was a way to suppress radio signals that are no longer a problem.  Most folks pull the old cap out of the tube, stuffing in a new cap and leaving the coil of wire in place (or replacing it after the cap is stuffed).  Here's a picture (a little out of focus) of one restuffed:

Cheers,
Bob
