Your kiddin' me! Those are my favorite cap type to rebuild. All ya gotta do is unsolder the connections (same as with any cap), unscrew it, my favorite part...scrape the old guts with a screwdriver (perhaps I should say that with a Peter Lore tone ), thread new cap leads through the rivets, and reinstall.

And the BEST part of all no SMELLY wax to melt either in cleaning out the old guts or in sealing new guts in (after all no one, even if they look under the chassis, is going to look under the caps so why put new wax in)!
